If this is what you want the bug to represent, then it does make sense to keep all feature-implementation bugs related to this master bug, but none of the bug bugs…if that makes any sense.The bug bugs should be in the MathML component, but they shouldn't block the feature-complete bug.

I think we should consider enabling MathML. Just because we don't have MathML 3.0 implemented yet doesn't mean we need to keep it off; there was a time when we didn't have any CSS 3 implemented, but that didn't mean our CSS implementation had to be turned off! I have been playing around with a MathML-enabled build, and I feel like we do a pretty good job getting a lot of MathML on the web right, and I haven't experienced any crashes in the MathML code either. And if we turn it on, more people will test it, and that is just plain helpful. Just my opinion!
