Re: Opinions wanted: deprecate mglyph from MathML 4 (full) spec?

For full MathML, I would say we need something to give this functionality.
 Not all necessary characters are available in Unicode yet.    For example,
in the logic course I am teaching this fall, the textbook by Lu Zhongwan
uses both ⧦ (U+2036) and the symbol with only a single horizontal bar (for
which there is no unicode character).
