I don't see why you need both tags. Just set up a rule to style
inlineequation as well.

You shouldn't look to DocBook as a replacement for TeX, InDesign, or
even FrameMaker. (It's pretty close in spirit to FrameMaker, yet a gulf
still separates them.)
DocBook works best for rigidly-formatted documents, especially when you
need multiple output formats from a single source that all look good.
If you need one output and it must look excellent, don't expect DocBook
to do that for you. There's still no substitute for a human typesetter
going over the galleys to tweak things.
If you like, you can write in DocBook, output to some intermediary
format, tweak there, and go to press from that.
italic glyphs for Greeks and braces look a little off.)
Surely that's just a matter of the font you've chosen? Granted, you
don't get a huge selection to play with in HTML, but if you output to
PDF instead, you can get quite a bit of difference in the look with a
little tweaking in the customization layer.
