      Hi Kris,

      

      As mentioned previously, I am new to DITA, so please forgive the
      ignorance behind my questions and comments.Â

      

      Again, it seems odd that the SVG and MathML domains would not be
      included as part of the base package. Both SVG and MathML are
      commonly used with HTML. MS-Word comes with the ability to insert
      equations and markup images in documents by default and not as an
      add-on package. I would think that users would expect this to be
      part of the base DITA package as well. What is the rationale for
      not including these domains in the base package?

      

      I also find it odd that the hazard statement domain would
      be included with the base package. The hazard statement domain
      seems like a natural fit for the technical content package,
      especially since they are specializations of notes. What is the
      rationale for including the hazard statement domain in the base
      package?

      

      I know that these are discussions for technical committee meetings
      and I am not trying to start a debate. I am just a curious newbie
      :-).

      

      Thanks,

      Jonathan Hanna
