yes.
What are
the chances that Mosaic and Netscape will start supporting math in the
near future?
well, they're probably waiting for the 3.0 spec to be finalized.
2. When is the work on the HTML 3.0 standard due to be finished, and when can
we expect the first 3.0-compliant browsers that support math?
let's see, where's my crystal ball...
- HTML 3.0 draft finished: March 1995
(So, that should already have happened on 1995-06-07 when
you wrote what I quoted above.)
- HTML 3.2 published (dropping math from spec): January 1997
- MathML draft released: May 1997
- First browsers with native MathML (math) support: Early
2000s (Amaya, Mozilla)
- First mainstream browsers with MathML rendering: Netscape
7.0 (2002), Firefox, Safari over time
- Chrome with MathML rendering arrived much later (2023) as
experimental/optional feature
