Rob has implemented the mspace element by mapping (in C++):

CSS width: width attribute value
CSS vertical-align: height attribute value
CSS height: calc(height attribute value+depth attribute value)

This has various consequences which make it different from the current specs and Gecko/WebKit implementations:

(1) One can now specify these CSS property directly on the mspace element and this will change its rendering and override the attribute values. The spec instead says they are ignored: https://mathml-refresh.github.io/mathml-core/#css-styling

(2) For mspace attributes, percentages are interpreted relative to the sizes of a block container. The spec instead says they are treated as 0: https://mathml-refresh.github.io/mathml-core/#space-mspace (this is consistent with MathML3 where the default size is 0x0)

This turned out to be problematic and was changed to be all internal and not visible for web developers:

So now MathML does nothing special for vertical-align. Of course the rest of this issue still stands.
