AIP argued that print quality was necessary and that Panorama was totally unacceptable. One of the DLI people had written a dissertation on the screen display of maths. Java, OLE, ActiveX or working out the bugs in Panorama, versus the long term solution of semantic math. Work on style sheets for HTML might solve this eventually. It was proposed that it would be possible to use the plug-in reader version of Mathematica to render math.
Mathematicas format is published but proprietary.
Stephen Wolfram offered to allow an ISO standard that would closely correspond to their work on the semantics of math. Wolfram Research would agree not to sue. Mathematica has taken a journal produced in TeX, Complex Systems, and converted it entirely to Mathematica notebooks with active math. At one point in the discussion, Wolfram offered to just the solve the problem for us, to do the development on a semantic math DTD that would map in and out of Mathematica's internal format. The people from SoftQuad didn't like this at all, as this would effectively cut them out of the market.
