Did some research into MathML. Captured some examples from the Mozilla site. For math inclusions to work in FireFox, the MathML DOCTYPE must be included at the top of the page markup, and the file must have a ".xhtml" extension. A conversation with Antranig indicated that adding this is possible in RSF using ContentTypeInfoRegistry.

Created icons for spans and added them to Sousa Page and Sequence tools. Checked into SVN as rev. 51195.
Started work on adding spans and triples. Modified Page Tool's editpage.html to include new icons. Added code to EditPageProducer to include just T-TRIPLE-BOTTOM, as a kind of trial.
Coded all spans, tested and works. I should do a bit more testing to make sure that the old layouts still work as well.
Checked code in as rev 51198
Added code to Sequencer. Tested, works.
Checked in as rev 51199
Next Steps
- Test old layouts.

Chatting with Chuck today, he recommended Aaron Z's GenericDAO package. See Generic DAO package. It looks like a simple and powerful ORM solution for simple problems. Also downloaded a PPT on it.
