    Actually, it is not the MathML that has been modified, but only the DTD 
    file. We have created this modified DTD file five years ago to be able 
    to validate namespaced MathML with a DTD.
    
    The following information regarding the modifications is directly from 
    the DTD file:
    
    
    
    (there are two other modification listed, but they do only effect the 
    comment section of the DTD file)
    
    
    
    Actually, mentioning "StarMath 6.0" is not up to date any longer, and 
    maybe even confusing. It probably would have been more accurate to say 
    something like "Modifications are intended to ease validation of 
    namespaced MathML files."
    
    I hope this helps.
