I'm not sure forgetting to add www-math@w3.org in CC is really efficient ;-) Unfortunately I'm not likely to be able to play with MathPlayer: I believe it works only with IE (?) and I don't have this browser installed on my laptop. > FYI: you should include a DTD or at least a namespace declaration on > the html element to trigger MathPlayer's mime filter (otherwise, IE > will treated it as xhtml and not display it).

I use .xml because I do think it is generic enough and consequently I believe most browsers will parse the file as XML (it works with Firefox, Opera and people tell me it works with IE+MathPlayer). But I didn't suspect the behaviour of MS Office... So, next time I'll use .xhtml. Thanks for the hint. F. Wang
