MathML embedded in an XHTML "a" link element.

In the current Safari (6.0.4) the following is not a problem, but it is a problem in the current WebKit nightlies:

Embedding MathML markup within an XHTML "a" link element causes every element in the MathML markup to appear with a blue link underline. While logical up to a point, this is not a good practice when dealing with MathML. The most serious problem is that it can change the apparent meaning of elements in the MathML, notably and plus sign with a link underline looks like a completely operator, the "±" sign. Less serious, but worth considering, is that it makes a visual mess of the MathML rendering.
