My understanding of the "K14" was not that it should really have any bearing on the language used in descriptions, but just a loose justification for the essentially arbitrary collection of functions in MathML (and the core OM CDs). If you ask why the trigonometric functions are in but the Bessel functions are out, the answer is more or less "K14" Which (after I'd had it translated to me) means that the functions are likely to be taught in pre-university education in some common education systems. I never thought it should constrain the language used in descriptipons. > I had always understood the K12 or K14 target of MathML3 as being "the > set of symbols corresponds to these that one would commonly accept at > a person that has about 14 years of learning in his or her life". Yes, exactly. > That is, to my taste, is acceptable but very different. It's certainly different from saying that the descriptions of the symbols need to be related to education at that level, yes. > PS: sorry, I am currently cross-posting to [email protected] and > [EMAIL PROTECTED] If non members post to the member-math list they will land up in the moderator's mailbox (I think).
