Separate numbers and delimiters in MathML lists #105

Description

@abcdsen-create

Priority: High

Description

Add
guidance that each number in a list must use a separate <mn> element and
each comma must be a separate <mo>. A value such as
<mn>2,3,5,7</mn> may be interpreted as one number rather than four
list items.

Recommended markup

<mn>2</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>3</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>5</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>7</mn>

The
guidance must also account for locales such as Icelandic where the comma is a
decimal separator; a genuine decimal such as 14,72 belongs in one <mn>.

Acceptance criteria

  • List separators are structurally separate from number tokens.
  • Locale-specific decimal separators are documented.
  • Examples cover both a numeric list and a decimal number.
  • The list example is verified to be spoken as separate values.
