That seems closer to an IETF stream matter rather than series matter.
Say more? Do you imagine that the IS would need different rules?
This is motivated by the accessibility requirement. Math that is only SVG or
only monospace Unicode art is only accessible to sighted readers, whereas
whatever format we might eventually come up with (MathML or something else)
that is math-aware.
I agree, but the word "normative" is a bit loaded towards the IETF standards
track. So a friendly amendment:
"Incidental use of math in figures can still use textual or SVG alternatives,
provided that any math content is only illustrative."
