Comment (by clange):

 Replying to [comment:7 david]:
 > That said I'm fairly sure that all existing MathML renderers never do
 render invisibletimes with a times symbol, and the mathml spec, more or
 less anticipates that behaviour by giving the author no author-level
 control over that. If invisibletimes rendered as a visible symbol or not
 at the discretion of the rendering system, the only way the author could
 force it to be invisible would be to not put it there at all, which would
 probably harm audio renderings and up conversion to semantic content etc.
 One could probably solve this with CSS, but that's a theoretical idea, as
 CSS for MathML is not supported (or will it be?)
