Thanks. Looks good in general. The only thing is that I'm unsure if the specifications are up-to-date / stable enough.

## DOM interface

When implemented, this element will be exposed via the `MathMLAnchorElement` interface defined in the [MathML Core specification](https://w3c.github.io/mathml-core/#the-a-element). At the time of writing, no browser exposes this interface yet, and the element is accessed through the base {{domxref("MathMLElement")}} interface.

@bkardell @lukewarlow @eerii I haven't really followed recent discussion on the IDL part, do you think it's fine documenting that now or should we wait things are a bit more stable? https://w3c.github.io/mathml-core/#the-a-element
