A wishlist item: put the semantic representions of the MML, as found

in the MIZAR distribution.  I often work on MIZAR articles when I
don't have network access and wish that I could check out semantic
representation of some article of interest, but am unable to do so.
It would be nice if I could just open my web browser and explore the
semantic representation of the MML offline.

Thoughts?
I can't resist the impression that you are almost citing the words of 
Freek Wiedijk who requested the linked abstracts a few years ago ;-)))) 
Then we started to distribute it as a separate tarball. But now, the 
software which produced the linked abstracts has unfortunately been left 
discontinued.
When Josef created the semantic representation in its current form, there 
came a natural idea of distributing it instead of the old linked abstract, 
there were only technical problems because Josef thought it best for us to 
store the representation of all MML versions, which is not possible at the 
moment on our server. But having at least the current version of MML 
rendered in the semantically linked form is certainly a good idea and 
we'll try to do so ASAP to help all those who sometimes prefer/must work 
off-line.
Best,
