Someone kindly pointed out to me off-list that you - Alex - are the
one working out of those bugs.
My apologies for not noticing this! It's late, and I need sleep.
I'm more curious about your original motivations now - if MathML
support is in the engine, couldnt accessibility roles also be worked
on that would expose it to *all* screen readers, instead of one
designed specifically to be some sort of WebKit "add on"?

Would native MathML support along with accessibility roles fulfill
your needs?
If so, I'd suggest you direct your energies towards that effort!

I'm curious to see if there is someway an "plugin" or "extension"
can be
added to a WebKit-based browser to add additional semantics for
certain
content without going over to the "browser host" side of things?
For example, I'd like users to be able to install an "add on" that
augments
the browser and "reads" MathML to the user using the native TTS
engine on the
platform. This isn't a plugin in the traditional sense as WebCore is
doing the actual rendering of the content.
I've looked at Chrome extensions but that seems to be at a higher
level. What
I want to do is add semantics associated with a certain kind of
markup. Think
of it as a "speak Math" service.
Any ideas?
