For step 3, have a look at XSL (http://www.xml.com), the XML stylesheet
language.
Furthermore, wouldnt the Display tree be quite what MathML is already? I
think that the MathML people have something quite complete for
_rendering_ mathematics. So, why shouldnt one do the representation of
mathematical objects in OpenMath and the rendering via MathML? This
would have the advantage that in step 5 you could target MathML
browsers, too. And maybe you can even reuse a Java library for the
MathML layout.
Anyway, I'd really like to use your package, no matter how "beta" it is.
best regards
