A "presentational markup language" would be like SVG or X3D.
They use
markup to create a presentation that may or may not be meaningful.
Huh, what is a "meaningful presentation" exactly? To me, what is
meaningful content is *not* presentational. The presentation is the
way you arrange and surround your content to make it attractive (or
not). Your definition of SVG as "presentational" precludes it from
being meaningful, although you specifically say it can be meaningful
too so I'm a little confused.
SVG is simply an image description markup language, just like HTML is
a document description markup language. SVG being presentational
depends on how it is used. SVG may be suitable for visual media
mostly, that doesn't automatically make it presentational.
And just like HTML, you can, to a degree, separate the meaningful
parts from the presentational parts in an SVG image: if a color was
chosen for presentational reasons, set it using CSS; if the chosen
font for a block of text is not meaningful to the document, set it
with CSS or just inherit it from the HTML document if you have inline
SVG.
