mlabeledtr renders blank in latest Firefox

Dear Friends,

The Firefox update of mid September (version 1.5.0.7) renders
all content in mlabeledtr blank.

Perhaps there is not very much usage of mlabeledtr.  So far I seem to
be the only complainer.  (I don't know how to measure extant usage:
most search engines will not score a hit for markup).

Equations and equation arrays done in gellmu since September 2004 wind
up in mlabeledtr's.  I will be needing to change that (and soon!),
at least for the near term, regardless of whether the Mozilla issue
is resolved.

For now I would like to see Mozilla's prior behavior (officially Mozilla
does not implement it) restored.  That prior behavior, admits a _usage
profile_ consistent with the MathML 2.0 specification and compatible
with other user agents.

Those interested may consult Mozilla bug 356870:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356870

I do agree with the Mozilla position that the requirements of the
MathML 2.0 specification make a proper implementation of the MathML
2.0 specification make a proper implementation of mlabeledtr
unnecessarily cumbersome.

                                    -- Bill
