MathML,

Sitting in my hotel room, I stuck my nose into MathML. Damn was I surprise over this markup language. How easy it is to parse and validate mathematical expressions with this language. I remember writing a parser and validator in Miranda once, fairly strait forward,  but this simply rocks. Ok digging into the DTD the markup language rares its ugly head, but it's all done and ready to use.

On top of all this crème de la crème, there is a MathMLDOMImplementation interface ready to use in your business layer if you like. ... Now why isn't there a System.MathML namespace :-0 ...is this because SOAP is a W3C Note and MathML is a W3C Recommendation :-).

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head><title>MathML</title></head>
<body>
<p>Could you please prove this:</p>
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<mrow>
  <mrow>
    <msup>
      <mn>x</mn>
      <mn>n</mn>
    </msup>
    <mo>+</mo>
    <mrow>
      <msup>
        <mn>y</mn>
        <mn>n</mn>
      </msup>
    </mrow>
  </mrow>
  <mo>=</mo>
  <msup>
     <mn>z</mn>
     <mn>n</mn>
   </msup>
</mrow>
<br>
</math>
</body>
</html>

Hmm come to think of it, sticking my nose into this, my wedding anniversary is on Thursday, must buy something, pickup  perfume at the airport Friday, call home Thursday, be the first to congrats. Glad I stuck my nose into this :-)
