As of 2023-07-27, I intend to deprecate the MathML mathvariant
attribute, except when used on the `<mi>` element. Status in other
browsers is not supported in Chrome 109, supported in Safari.
This is to align with the MathML Core specification:
https://w3c.github.io/mathml-core/#the-mathvariant-attribute where these
cases are written using the proper Unicode character (fraktur,
double-struck...) instead. For example <mi mathvariant="fraktur">x</mi>
can be replaced with <mi>#x1D51E;</mi>.
However, it is not clear yet how much this feature is used, so the plan
is to collect some telemetry data first and send some deprecation
warning to the console.
