HTML5 already has a bunch of entities that have been in HTML4 for a long time. Where was it stated that MathML entities would not be included? I most certainly expect us to include MathML entities if we're going to add MathML markup. (How to solve this for the XML serialization is a different matter, but that seems out of scope for the HTML WG.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
