Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2023.

The <mn> MathML element represents a numeric literal which is normally a sequence of digits with a possible separator (a dot or a comma). However, it is also allowed to have arbitrary text in it which is actually a numeric quantity, for example "eleven".
