Response to: Many elements...
Actually, I would have thought 2000 elements would be manageable these days. The whole of Unicode in one include file would be a problem. However, we built xmlchar so that you don't have to include all of the HTML4 characters unless you want them all. Similarly, nobody is going to use all 2000 MathML characters in one document, so grouping them into, say, 10 groups would make them manageable using the xmlchar approach. I'm a physicist by training, and used LaTeX for years, so I'm quite familiar with what is required for mathematical typesetting. Cheers, Tony.
