Yes, I understand that. It's just that it's hard to convince, for example, the Library of Congress to support MathML markup in their schema, and I'm not interested in writing a new one except as a very last resort.


I can't even imagine how hard it would be to convince them so i can't argue about that.

I have some ideas about how to address this, but I'm just emphasizing that:

a) it's not an easy problem to solve, particularly if you care about interoperability

I know it's not an easy thing to do. I'd like to be able to make my own system that would support math but unfortunately i don't have much time to work on it and i lack quite a bit of the knowledge needed to do it.


b) I care a lot about interoperability

What is interoperability? The ability to interchange data between different bibliography applications? I'm all for interroperability but not necessarely at the price of evolution. What i'm asking is not even evolution, bibtex has been doing math in titles for a very long time although it has other flaws.


I realize that i'm probably the only person that asked for this feature so far and i understand that it most likely won't be a priority but i didn't have much to lose by asking for it especially at an early development stage.

Thanks for taking the time to work on this project, i'm sure it will be nice any way you do it.
