Subject: Re: [docbook] mathphrase
Michael, Thanks for the response. I did see the referenced original proposal, but that proposal lacks an explanation of what problem the proposal is trying to solve. Also, the Jägermeister release simplified the referenced proposal, again with minimal explanation of why "mathphrase" is needed. See technical committee meeting minutes: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/200502/msg00008.html I'm sure the committee had a good reason to introduce this tag. I'd like to understand it and understand how the tag interacts with other standards that include math, how it affects accessibility, and how it affects other issues that MathML was designed to solve.
