> "Ahistorical" is not the word you're looking for, and even if it were, you're incorrect. In the sense that there were certainly people lamenting the feature loss, yes, in the sense that there were large parts of the accessibility community actually using MathML and left without an alternative, no. It was largely not usable (Igalia has been fixing MathML bugs in Firefox and WebKit as well), let alone in an accessible fashion. > The support wasn't complete, but it was good enough for high school level math in HTML textbooks Maybe basic algebra, but that would be it. The document I linked gives some good basic examples even screen readers today trip over due to their inherent ambiguity (as rendered and/or as markup). Anything beyond that you currently have to annotate yourself, and you can do that just as easily without a native markup dialect.
