I don’t think there’s much benefit of having MathML+MathJax *over*
LaTeX+MathJax, as the results should be very close. Unconditionally
loading MathJax would just put the MathML syntax on equal footing with
LaTeX w.r.t. MathJax accessibility features. (Page reflowing is
definitely still noticeable, but less dramatic).

The advantage I see is conditional loading, which can smooth over
rendering issues in problematic browsers.

You could be right; I was still under the impression CSS had to be
loaded through style objects in JS.

Fair question from the tone of my message! My goal is to improve
MathML support in Org. And to make things clearer, I’m only advocating
for the second approach with the `org-preview-latex-process-alist`
machinery.

Thanks,
