It would be nice to know if PTC's Arbortext implementation actually
puts text characters into the output or if it vectorizes the fonts
(like SVG Math). Also, I am curious as to how it handles line wrapping
for long expressions, especially ones that contain the <mtable>
element (mtable is frequently used to align equations in presentation
MathML). Finally, I wonder if there are any implementations capable of
rendering content MathML (IE, you feed it just the math operations you
want to represent, and the engine formats it accordingly). In a way,
presentation MathML is to content MathML as HTML is to DocBook.

And yes, if you aren't talking PDF, then I know of at least one
application that can interpret content MathML correctly...
