[om] default rendering of OM

[Richard Fateman]

To clarify.... I assume that
there IS a default rendering, and it is a character
string that starts with <OMOBJ>.   This perhaps should
not be dignified with the name "rendering"  but in
the absence of a style sheet, it seems to me always
available as a presentation.

I don't know what Mike's original comparison was, but if it is

" MathML deals principally with the presentation of mathematical 
objects, while OpenMath is solely concerned with their semantic meaning 
or content. "

then I don't agree they are the same at all. Is this what
you are referring to?
