           Summary: Multi-character <mi>s rendered differently in WebKit
                    and Firefox
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2010/08/thermodyna
                    mics_and_wick_rotati.html
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: MathML
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: randall at wawd.com


Firefox's behavior seems to be that if a <mi> contains two or more characters, it's rendered in normal rather than italic style and there's space around it, and if it's a single character, it's italicized and no space.

So, for example, <mi>unitless</mi><mi>parameterization</mi> in the first table in the linked page appears as two non-italic words in Firefox and one italic word in WebKit.

(I'm sorry in advance if some of these bugs are unhelpful or invalid according to the standard; I'm just going through a page that heavily uses MathML and documenting what looks off.  And I absolutely love that WebKit is adding MathML support.)
