Yes, i understood mapping between xml and sxml.

(root 5) in the case of content MathML.

Yes, I know if you follow SXML XML maping i defined at beggining of my
message. But i was asking for a new mapping SEXRP ---> XML inspirated in
Content MathML model.
Now take the SEXPR (minus 3) from pure lisp.
A priori one could wait a matching like <minus><cn>3</cn></minus> *if* one
applies the SXML-XML mapping but Content MathML defines a *new* mapping
and uses
<apply><minus/><cn>3</cn></apply>
because claimed advantages. My real point is if we would are providing
something like
<apply><em/>important</apply>
rather than traditional
<em>important</em>
