For displayed math, TeX has just _one_ rule: The author must insert all line breaks and alignement points manually.

This information is absent and thus hard > for the formatter to do right the first time. In MathML this information _should be there_. Which in large part accounts for why MathMl is more verbose than TeX. (The other reason for verboseness just being xml syntax) David DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
