True, I merely quoted it because of the quality of the markup. If you
want to edit MathML/OpenMath etc. then there are lots of options:
Mathtype and WebEQ from Design Science, a free add-on to TechExplorer
from IBM (whose name I forget), JOME from the University of Nice, and
several others which I hadn't heard of until I looked at the MathML
software page a couple of minutes ago.
Quite how useful graphical manipulation of mathematics is is
questionable, but the ability to select/cut/paste sub-expressions in a
graphical environment does seem important to me.

Well that depends what you want to do, other people say that they are
not sophisticated enough for formal applications. For what I want to do
they're about right ;-)

and MathML-content are about semantics which is what you need in a piece
of mathematical software.

In what sense?
