Line 69: Whilst Wikipedia only provides HTML rendering, in some cases that will be subject to further reduction to plain ASCII. Examples include: screen readers, web crawlers, some mailing lists, and public catalogues (like COinS). Where a client can be identified as preferring "plain text", we should ''avoid'' sending “10<sup>30</sup>” because produces the ''deeply'' unsatisfactory end result “1030”. ''Please'' can we recommend, in this specific case, sending either Unicode superscript and subscript digits with fraction-slash,<ref>(superscripts U+2070, U+00b9, U+00b2, U+00b3, U+2074 thru U+2079; subscripts U+2080 thru U+2089; fraction-slash U+2044)</ref> or insert circumflex/caret “^” symbols for exponents and solidus “/” for fractions.
