it is an interesting issue of whether a long-established DTD like the
TEI has enough markup to describe a 100-author CERN physics paper. I'd
be curious to see the results.

TEI and Docbook are both extensible, so on just plugs in MathML and
pray for namespace support (somehow, the mathml people thought it was
amusing to have "<list>" in their element set)
