notations for minus (was WebMath: Fwd: BOUNCE webmath@west.camel.math.ca:)

[Stan Devitt]

And for the record,  the distinction between negative and minus
in content mathml is that one is a unary application of <minus/>
and the other is a binary application.

This begs the question of  searching for a standard way
of displaying the distinction,  but given that there may be more
than one stylistic convention, it does illustrate
how one can separate the two issues 
without losing track of the mathematical distinction
and without risking a mis-interpretation of any
given style.
