My point is that are different molecules elements on their own or is the individual atom the element? Should we mark up sodium chloride as <mi>NaCl</mi> or <mi>Na</mi><mi>Cl</mi> or even as text <mtext>NaCl</mtext>? I asked this same thing from Neil in the MathCAT repo, but he hasn't had time to answer yet.
I found some discussion on it in an old issue from w3c/mathml, where Neil shows that maybe the correct way would be to mark up <mi>Na</mi><mi>Cl</mi>.

.MathML doesn't really concern itself with marking up chemistry and MathML 4 is the only one that even mentions chemistry at all.
Will this be difficult to test for and also to proofread?
