MathML and SVG
~1990 HTML
A dozen tags, some of which are defunct
Largely: headings, paragraphs, lists
... but what about...
1993: HTML+

Math, and Graphics
What do you need in order to share research?

HTML 5:
These ones are special.
Math and Graphics
(MathML/SVG appear hundreds of times in html.spec.whatwg.org)
Unique Challenges
- Co-evolutionary solutions
- Under-specification by today's standards
- Another era of standards: "Contains much that is appocraphal or at least greatly exagerated."
- "Separate" and under-invested in resolving.
Let's make these things less special...
One Web.
SVG has a head-start here and another interesting challenge/opportunity
Nikolas will tell you about that -
first, briefly... MathML
- Happening in a very active CG
- Recent TAG review
- Upstreaming in Chromium
- Currently working on WG charter
Informed by implementations, modern alignment - like SVG
Some good resolutions already in WebKit...
Currently 2323 Tests!
- Safari ~68%
- Firefox ~73%
- Chrome ~44%
- Igalia's ~95%
We'd like to find ways to work better on some of the challenges that remain, even pre-WG because relaying significant gaps in context is especially inefficient.

Practical success, looking forward.
