Hi Paul,

MathTran is a very good service but there are some potential issues:
  - Not reachable from a local wiki (for ex. from a company LAN)
without internet access (or with limited internet access)
  - Availability: MathTran doesn't guarantee a level of QoS (from the
MathTran website: "We try to keep the site on-line all day, every day
but we do not guarantee this")
  - Performances: Likewise

But as MathTex supports pluggable renderers, a MathTran renderer can
be also added if required. Thus users could use the same macro syntax
whatever the renderer actually used. It probably means I should merge
some of your previous works, if you're ok.

You can find some demos here (temporary page) :

The MathTex plugin is not related to libraries with similar names. I
don't think it really collides as it's just a xwiki specific plugin
and not a new library. But maybe another name would be better.
