[NOTE: This records dispositions of comments received during the Second Last Call period from from 10 June 2010 to 1 July 2010. The dispositions of comments received during the first Last Call ending 11 November 2009 are noted in a separate document.]
7 comments of which 7 fully resolved, 0 resolved but not yet formally accepted and 0 unresolved.
The MathML 3.0 Specification Last Call draft has received a number of comments. Most are not controversial, and we have done our best to accomodate them. Some involved more substantive issues, and provoked a good deal of discussion between the Math WG and the originators of the comments. In most cases, a consensus opinion has emerged, but what differences remain is made plain below.
We itemize here the few comments received during the Second Last Call period , 10 June 2010 to 1 July 2010, and the Math WG responses as well as a few editorial amelioratins from the WG itself.
The dispensation of non-controversial comments and suggestions is noted briefly in this document, with references to email detailing the changes to the MathML 3 WD. In the case of more substantive issues, a discussion is given below describing the background and the resolution proposed by the Math WG.

After discussion it, we agree with you. We have removed the sentence "Similarly, the BOM SHOULD be omitted for Unicode text encoded as UTF-16." If you could acknowledge this is acceptable as a resolution of your comment for our last call report, we would appreciate it. |

Editorial corrections from the Math WG |

Summary: | Rendering of the <share> element. |
Submitted: | David Carlisle,

Response: | David Carlisle,
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-math/2010Jul/0032.html |
Discussion: |
Implementation experience has shown that the most convenient rendering of the MathML3 <share> element is as a hypertext link linking to the referenced element rather than the rendering suggested by the current draft which is to render the element that is referenced. The wording in Chapter 4 has been changed to make it clear that either rendering is acceptable. Note that this is an editorial change as the default renderings suggested by the MathML3 draft are are always just suggestions. |

Discussion: | One implementer requested clarification about linebreaking behavior.

Resolution: | Accordingly, the draft was updated in two places: http://monet.nag.co.uk/~dpc/draft-spec/chapter3-d.html#id.3.1.7.1 and at the end of http://monet.nag.co.uk/~dpc/draft-spec/chapter3-d.html#presm.lbattrs The later change is analogous to what was already said at the end of the mspace attr section: http://monet.nag.co.uk/~dpc/draft-spec/chapter3-d.html#id.3.2.7.2 |
Summary: | Status of lax schema |
Submitted: | WG,
|
Response: | David Carlisle,
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-math/2010Jul/0003.html |
Discussion: | This is a public last call comment highlighting a change to the editor's
draft of MathML3:
http://monet.nag.co.uk/~dpc/draft-spec/chapter6-d.html#world-int-combine-other
It has been noted that the text of the MathML3 draft was inconsistent
over whether a lax schema (extending MathML in some way to allow foreign
elements) would or supplied, or whether such a schema should be made by
a designer of a larger document format, allowing just the extension that
is required for that format.
The text in 6.4 (and 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 on (x)html) have been clarified to
make it clear that a lax schema is not distributed, but sample code
showing now to extend the schema has been added to the text.
