Re: [MathML3-last-call] default stretching for sum & int in chapter 3 contradicts operator dictionary

Thank you for your comment.  This has been resolved by changing

"Most common opening and closing fences are defined in the operator
dictionary to stretch by default; and they stretch vertically. Also,
operators such as ∑, ∫, /, and vertical arrows stretch vertically by
default. "

to say:

"By default, most vertical arrows, along with most opening and closing
fences are defined in the operator dictionary to stretch by default."
