<p>This document begins with background information on mathematical

MathML tags describe abstract notational structures, while another

about one hundred and fifty provide a way of unambiguously

<p>This Note examines the treatment of bound variables in Content

MathML. Bound variables are central representational primitives in

mathematical languages. They allow one to express functions,

quantification, and operators with qualifiers. The first edition of

the MathML 2.0 Recommendation [MathML2] was

somewhat vague about the identity conditions on bound variables,

and as a consequence Content MathML applications were left to guess

the exact meaning. This Note provides some of the rationale behind

how this has been clarified in the second edition [MathML22e].</p>
