[whatwg] MathML in non-XML documents

>From my reading of the spec, it appears that MathML embedded in HTML
documents (not just XHTML) is intended to work?
(http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#mathml)

I.e. something like the following snippet should render as math?

<body>
  <math>
    <msup>
      <mi>x</mi>
      <mn>2</mn>
    </msup>
  </math>
</body>

Is my interpretation correct? (Note, I'm not questioning browser
support for the above, which I believe is non-existent).


Cheers
