Hi all,

While testing some XITS symbols, I was wondering about the spacing of
the following symbols:

\setupbodyfont[xits]

\starttext
$$a < b$$ # reference
$$a ⨼ b$$
$$a ⨽ b$$
$$a ⪝ b$$
$$a ⪞ b$$
$$a ⪬ b$$
$$a ⪭ b$$
\stoptext

Not sure about the first two, but I think the rest should be mathrel

I agree.

(additionally, does anyone knows a definite Unicode reference for such
proprieties?)

I usually use the ams symbol list (as implemented by the unicode-math
package) as reference.

When (years ago) I wrote the math ml parsers I used those xits/ams/whatever lists but they had inconsistencies (no surprise as there are so many smbols) .. so whatever change we do, I'd rather not copy blindly but consider carefully; some symbols have multiple usage and we can support that. Now, as long as we use names that's no big deal, but when characters are used directly there can be conflicting interests with respect to defaults. For that I'd like to introduce the option to set a 'domain' or whatever it's called which will adapt the spacing category automatically

btw ... did you ever look at:
