Any idea if it should? Perhaps not if it ignores a DTD.
I'm serving it by opening a file on my disk with FF.
I guess, as David Carlisle says, I should run it through
XSLT first.

So html5 is neither fish nor foul? SGML nor XML?
As MK asks, why? Simply because its the first chance
I've seen to include mathml + SVG into a common delivery format.
XSLT is the answer. Now what's the question? 


Thanks
