Why MathML-cont?

To annoy the LaTeX community: change our habits or perish;-(
  • Error detection

    Extra parenthesis in the 1994 AMS testmath.tex file:

    \begin{equation}\label{A-l-lambda}  
    A^{(\lambda)}_l =\sum_{I_l \subseteq\mathbf{n}}\per \mathbf{A}  
    ^{(\lambda)}(I_l |I_l )\det\mathbf{A}^{((\lambda)}  
    (\overline I_{l}|\overline I_l ),|I_{l}|=l .  
    \end{equation}

  • Authoring Style

    Questionable use in the 1999 AMS testmath.tex file:

    • ‘\mathbf{A}^{...}’ instead of ‘{\mathbf{A}}^{...}' ?
    • ‘\biggr.&\biggl.’ instead of ‘& ’?
      \biggl[  
                   \frac{1}{t_\varepsilon}  
          \biggl(  \mathbf{E}_{y}  
                   \int_0^{t_\varepsilon}L_{x,y^x(s)}\varphi(x)\,ds  
                   -t_\varepsilon\int L_{x,z}\varphi(x)\rho_x(dz)  
          \biggr)\\  
      &     \phantom{{=}+h\biggl[}  
                            +\frac{1}{t_\varepsilon}  
          \biggl(  \mathbf{E}_{y}\int_0^{t_\varepsilon}L_{x,y^x(s)}  
                   \varphi(x)\,ds -\mathbf{E}_{x,y}\int_0^{t_\varepsilon}  
                   L_{x,y_\varepsilon(\varepsilon s)}  
                   \varphi(x)\,ds  
          \biggr)
