That is the assumption that a lot of people here are operating with.
The question is whether we write that down.
1. I'm not opposed to saying that MathML is what needs to go into RFC XML, but
weakly prefer not to.
I think we can say that it's an RPC decision but that MathML is a strong
candidate.
2. I'm somewhat opposed to saying that LaTeX is a format that authors need to
have available to them. Only really because it's a little outside of this
groups policy scope.
Agreed, but again it can be cited as a strong candidate. As far as I can tell
it is by a large margin the solution most widely used by mathematicians and
scientists (and has been since the 1980s).
I think that both will happen no matter what we say. Which would be a good
thing. I'm interested whether anyone here thinks otherwise.
I fully agree.
BTW I just asked ChatGPT about this and the reply seems suprisingly useful:
