Hello all,

I see in the page

http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/media.html

that the way to add MathML markup in a DITA document for use with the DITA 
Converter is to include it in a foreign element:

<p><foreign><mml:math display="block" 
  xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";>
  <mml:mrow>
    <mml:mo>{</mml:mo>
    <mml:mtable>
      <mml:mtr>
        <mml:mtd>
        ...
        </mml:mtd>
      </mml:mtr>
    </mml:mtable>
  </mml:mrow>
</mml:math></foreign></p>

Are you aware of the inclusion in the v1.3 specs for DITA of a standard MathML 
domain? The proposed structure is not that far off from the above, but 
specializes the <foreign> element to a <mathml> one (I don't think the name is 
final yet), to hold MathML.

Are there plans to support these standards for MathML in DITA? It would seem 
that what you have now is close, and keeping things standard should be a win 
for everyone...

By the way, there is a similar proposal for an SVG domain.

Thanks,
