HarryT, an equation is a bit more complicated than a graphic --- it's a serial description of a complex statement which is spread out along two axes. Granted, one could brute force this by doing all equations as SVG but then:
- they wouldn't be breakable / re-flowable
- they wouldn't be readable (by screen readers / TTS)
- they wouldn't be guaranteed to line up nicely on the baseline if the text size was changed
- they wouldn't be editable as equations
What was the point of developing MathML if it's not to be used in such situations?
