that is defined in chapter 6:
   =
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-MathML3-20090924/chapter6.html#encoding-names=

should it be repeated in our appendix hence in this registration then?

I can change this.
Wouldn't it be wishable to reference draft-murata-kohn-lilley-xml-03 =20
instead?
Does anyone know when it'd be authoritative.

Can you suggest something?
MathML entities exchanged on the web have the same risks as any =20
document that could contain relative references. Is this the kind of =20
sentence that could be there?

misplaced like it's wrongly formulated? Formatted?

thanks, will do.

this appears clear

Should there be an email? (there's one three lines above)
Should there be a group? That is easy to add.
