Description
MathML does not currently have any mapping to ARIA. as a result, screen readers cannot process MathML markup and will not read anything out for that content. Currently chromium will output roles like MathMLNumber for mn while Firefox outputs "mathml number", neither of which are actual ARIA roles. Defining what these mappings should be is the first step to getting screen readers to be able to understand this content.

Done means the mappings are specified clearly enough to guide implementation.
