Description

This addresses some discussion from the 24/5/24 meeting that came up in relation to what should go in in the accessibility tree.

Although menclose can be done via CSS, the CSS can be quite complicated, especially for arrowheads (see the polyfill for some css). Standardizing this via the notation attribute would simplify the MathML need. It would also enhance accessibility because strikeouts/cancellations and other modifications would be visible to AT.

Note: there is a PR about this. It references the closed issue w3c/mathml#105.

Research direction

Start by reading the discussion from the 24/5/24 meeting, the linked menclose CSS polyfill, and PR w3c/mathml-core#24. Compare the proposal with the referenced closed issue w3c/mathml#105. Done would require a resolved MathML Core specification for menclose, including its notation and accessibility-tree implications.
