Hello!
Sorry,if I am mistaken: I not so well sign with xml, but I wish to share some problem and its decision. Застенчивый
Moodle 1.5 use XHTML, but content type generated pages is text/html. It creates problems with XHTML namespaces:
If I try to use such code

<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
 <mrow>
   <msup>
     <mfenced>
       <mrow>
         <mi>a</mi>
         <mo>+</mo>
         <mi>b</mi>
       </mrow>
     </mfenced>
     <mn>2</mn>
   </msup>
 </mrow> 
</math>


It does not work.
And, if change content type generated pages to application/xhtml+xml - all marking of page spoils Мигнуть
But, if change content type to application/xhtml+xml, and add atribute xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" in tag <html> - the marking of page and formula MathML are displayed correctly Круто
P.S. I use .xml extension thet for .xhtml content type in this site not defined .

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm fairly sure if we changed the content type everywhere like this there will be a lot of problems for some people on pages using certain characters sets, certain browsers, certain non-XHTML content... etc

I'm sure others know more about this than me and can look at this in more detail.

I'm test this in Mozilla, IE and Opera (but MathML work only in Mozilla Мигнуть).
Can be make an option in config (or in user prop): text/html or application/xhtml+xml and <html xmlns = " http: //www.w3.org/1999/xhtml ">? Большая усмешка
