If the MathML sample that was sent to the list is any indication, MathML
is really hard to work with.
Now, it can be argued that the ability to convert it to / from Latex
means that it is useable for the necessary task. But it is a bit of
stretch as a claim from where I sit.
From what I have heard, I would think that enabling RFCXML to include
either latex or MathML at the authors choice, and if needed generating
the MathML into the HTML would be a practical solution. (What Markdown
will choose to support is up to the Markdown folks.)
Yours,

It is my strong impression that's what RFCXML is supposed to be. I
realize there are people who consider XML to be unreadable, but I'd
prefer to have that fight somewhere else.
Adding MathML to it seems consistent with that plan.
