I have added the MathML format to m_TranslTable and now I get the 
clipboard content. In addition I have added debug outputs for MimeType 
and HumanPresentableName.

With all that I see:

The MathML-content from Microsoft MathInputPanel can be detected in 
clipboard and the stream contains a complete MathML content, so if saved 
to file it would result in a valid MathML file.

The same is true for copying an equation from Microsoft Word 2010. Among 
15 detected clipboard formats, I can get the correct one by using the 
new introduced SOT_FORMATSTR_ID.

The clipboard format from MathCast is not a real MathML content, but it 
is MimeType = text/plain;charset=windows1252 and HumanPresentableName = 
OEM/ANSI Text. So importing that is a different problem and has to wait 
until the import of valid MathML is successful.

For your tips about XML-parsing I need some more time.

Kind regards
Regina
