Exactly. And boy, did the blogs/news sites eat that up.
Anyway, I contacted Peter soon after his ebookcraft talk. He invited me to the biweekly meetup of the
Math on Web Pages W3C Community Group. (I showed up for a few months, haven't been in a while.)
Looks like next meeting will be December 6th (6PM CET). (
Calendar here +
Instructions here [looks like they switched to Zoom instead of Google Hangouts].)
There's people there discussing pros/cons of various methods, and working on tools/enhancements to what's currently out there (beyond MathML/MathJax).
Peter actually was the leader of MathJax for many years, and knows many of the pitfalls/disadvantages of that method.
And there are a bunch of other super knowledgeable maths people on the bleeding edge. Anyone else who's interested in better maths in their documents/ebooks should show up.
