MathML: mathsize smaller than 1 not working

DanielPharos
mathsize doesn't seem to be working properly if I give it values smaller than 1 (#2 below renders the same as #3). It doesn't seem to be related to the decimal point (#5 below works fine); it's really that any value smaller than 1 doesn't seem to have any effect. Is this a bug, and if so, is there a fix/workaround?

This is due to the scriptminsize attribute, which prevents text from getting too small in MathML content. This should not be unique to Prince. :)

Ah, super, that works perfectly! Sorry for blaming this one on Prince XML. ;) I had no clue that setting existed. Thanks!
