(This is mentioned in the status report http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/update.html but deserves mention in Bugzilla.) Mozilla doesn't yet support <maligngroup> in MathML. This is needed to correctly lay out multiline displayed equations as in the follow example (or see example in section 3.5.5.8 in the MathML spec). <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/xhtml-math11-f.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <head> </head> <body> <p> What follows is a displayed multiline equation </p> <p> <mml:math display="block"><mml:mrow> <mml:mstyle displaystyle="true"> <mml:mtable> <mml:mtr> <mml:mtd groupalign="right center left"> <mml:maligngroup /> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:maligngroup /> <mml:mo form="infix">=</mml:mo> <mml:maligngroup /> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mo form="infix">+</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>y</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:mtd> </mml:mtr> <mml:mtr> <mml:mtd groupalign="right center left"> <mml:maligngroup /> <mml:maligngroup /> <mml:mo form="infix">=</mml:mo> <mml:maligngroup /> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>r</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:mtd> </mml:mtr> </mml:mtable> </mml:mstyle> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> </p> </body> </html>

This is a much-needed feature for formatting multiline equations. It's shocking that no activity has occurred in this bug during the last 10 years!

<maligngroup> is not part of MathML Core and it's even considered for deprecation in MathML 4: https://github.com/w3c/mathml/issues/181

So I guess this should be WONTFIX.
