In MathML 2, the discussion of the display attribute
on the math element was inwardly directed, addressing
primarily how displaystyle and scriptlevel were affected;
it did not explicitly address how the math element
should be treated when embedded in another document,
such as (x)html. In MathML 3, this is only slightly
clearer.
I propose the following clarification, from
Michael Kohlhase, be added:
'Inline math elements should be treated exactly as if
they were a sequence of words in normal text.
In particular, this applies to spacing and
linebreaking: for instance, there should not be
spaces or line breaks be between inline-math
and an immediately following punctuation mark.'
