transitiontoepub/blob/a5dc75a2b80c61d73845c9058e872f63aec74c05/information-sharing/position-paper-plain-text-math/index.html#L90C1-L95C31 states the undermentioned:

“The man is 65 years old,” is an example of when numbers appear in text. Do not use MathML for these kinds of situations. In a mathematics textbook, you will certainly encounter word problems. Here too, the word problem should use plain text numbers and not MathML. Things like phone numbers, zip codes, numbers in an address, etc. should all be represented as plain text.

It does not provide rationale for this assertion, 1 unlike the previous section.
