OK, it works (more precisely, seems to work since the bonobo control for
MathML is not available). But I have a concern about your sample file.
the input tag should be inside a <form></form> block. The dtd makes
possible to put it elsewhere, but I think that future versions based on
XmlSchemas might not.
