Subject: New agenda item: MathML and SVG support in V5.0

Hi Bob,

could you please add this to an agenda of our next telcon?

The current V5.0 grammar allows any MathML or SVG markup on several 
places. However people who will use MathML or SVG with DocBook will need 
real validation against MathML and SVG schema in those places. Actually 
it is pretty easy to create custom schema which facilite this. An 
example of such schema for MathML is in the following message:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/200511/msg00018.html

The question is whether we want to ship such custom schemas in the 
official distribution. If yes, do we want to distribute them alone or 
also with MathML and SVG schemas on which they depend.

I think that I most like idea of distributing schemas for 
DocBook+MathML, DocBook+SVG and DocBook+MathML+SVG which will reference 
standard DocBook 5.0 schema and external MathML and SVG schema. Because 
there are no normative RELAX NG schemas for MathML and SVG, I think that 
we shouldn't include them directly in the distribution and we should 
just instruct people where to get them (this can be described in HOW-TO).

I think that it will be sufficient to provide those schemas only in 
RELAX NG, because we have a lot of problems with DTD and WXS even 
without any additional stuff.

If there is consensus about this issue I can create schema customization 
and extend HOW-TO appropriately.
