Title: Time for MathML?
Colleagues - One of the reasons for rejecting MathML, originally, was that it is so old that it is only defined in DTD, not XML schema. This is probably not a strong reason. Notice that MathML incorporates an explicit typing scheme, in which the <cn> and <ci> elements carry an optional "type" attribute. One way to address Daniel's concern about partial inclusion is to adopt MathML in its entirely, including definite integrals. However, I believe we can fairly readily list the parts of MathML that are useful in an access-control setting. We have to make this list anyway, if we are to define our own set of types, functions and relations. All the best. Tim.
