Thanks Chris! Your information about the lone developer is what I had learned too, and the status of VoiceOver support for MathML doesn't seem to have changed much in almost a year. I contacted Chris Bledsoe last year for information about Apple's plans regarding support for MathML, and he did reply to me. But I'm still waiting for Apple to move forward on this. Thanks, Niles
