As far as I can tell this is encouraged by the draft specification, but it's not required from user agents, because such user agent user interface requirements are out of scope. This is what the draft says: "To enable authors to use MathML tools that only accept MathML in its XML form, interactive HTML user agents are encouaraged to provide a way to export any MathML fragment as a namespace-well-formed XML fragment." -- 3.12.15 MathML "To enable authors to use SVG tools that only accept SVG in its XML form, interactive HTML user agents are encouaraged to provide a way to export any SVG fragment as a namespace-well-formed XML fragment." -- 3.12.16 SVG (I guess the statement regarding SVG is still in there because you can also have SVG in text/html using the DOM which is how most libraries currently use it.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
