The idea I have in mind is mostly what James said in a different thread, CDDefinition/description gives a short and concise description of the symbol in plain text CDDefinition/discussion? gives all the necessary mathematical fine print possibly using MathML or even OpenMath for that. We sant to use the <description> to generate text into the MathML3 recommendation and for things like tooltips in applications. There we need limited length and plain unicode. The <discussion> element is intended for implementors (to establish interoperability) and for interested parties who look up the CD (beyond a simple tool-tip) and want to understand what is really meant. In the <discussion> element I imagine details like the branchcuts to be discussed. > From what I see in the > MathML CDs it seems to me that when both are used for a symbol, they tell the > same with slightly different words. > That is one of the curent problems, we have not moved the text around, but that is next. In a way still waiting for David's restructuring of the MathML3 text generation script to get a better model of what to write.
