Description
A lot of the co-evolutionary features of MathML are aligned in Core L1, and at least we have basic IDL support - but differences remain. Math tables are very similar to HTML tables in many ways - but not in terms of IDL. HTML provides some special table-oriented IDL which it ?might make sense to align in MathML eventually too - for example, some reflecting attributes and access to things like which row index it is, and so on... These are in the spec as, for example
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-tr-element
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-td-element
I suppose the question is "how portable is similar knowledge" across the platform

Research direction
Start by comparing MathML table elements with the linked HTML tr and td definitions, focusing on reflecting attributes, row indexes, and related IDL. The MathML Core draft is the project context; done would require an agreed, documented scope for which table-oriented IDL should align and how portable that knowledge is.
