Do you agree with the MathML sceptic who said it's a train to nowhere?
Explain your answer.

So, your claim is that off-line publishing of math (or STM, which is
probably what you mean) is the only successful application ___domain for
MathML?

That's clearly false, so what is your real reason for saying something
like that here? I have to assume you're not just trying to stir up random
trouble, so I guess I'm at a loss.
