It's worse than pre-TeX printed books. Which makes me wonder: is anyone in the
world addressing this? Are there people in the TeX community involved in the
standardization processes (say, Epub3, but also the various W3C specifications),
who could push forward ideas from TeX, like minimum requirements for the
algorithms that rendering engines should use? These questions (together with
sighs) arise every time I see a web page especially with mathematical notation…
