[Blindmath] Concise form for: fraction one over two plus three endFraction

[Ken Perry]

Wouldn't that make longer fractions harder to tell where the end was?  That
would be fine for example for something like 1/2  but what about a fractions
of the form.  Fraction 3x^2+x+9 over 8x^3+x-2 end fraction

Hi

I'm configuring some open source MathML to speech text software that I'm
writing and have a question.

I think it's tedious to have fraction one over two endFraction, and think
frac one two is better.  Following this idea, my question is as this.  What
should the concise form of fraction one over two plus three endFraction be?

I have two possible answers.  The first is frac one begin two plus three
end.  The second is to use the previous verbose form.  By the way, the words
frac, fraction, begin and end are all configurable.

Your comments will help me make the software better.  Thank you.
