Tiny change, huge improvement. Beautiful.
    

I hate to say this, but the target page is a good example of why
converting math in LaTeX (whether originating in LyX or not) to HTML
gives such bad results. 

  
And I guess the results must be much better on some other system than on 
mine since, on mine, much of this is completely unreadable. Attached is 
what I get in 4.3. I have no idea what this is supposed to be, but 
presumably not as is. (This is with Firefox 2.0.0.19 on Fedora 8.)

The forthcoming HTML output from LyX will therefore use png's initially 
and shoot for MathML later. Note that the latter won't be as hard as 
writing a LaTeX to MathML converter (though these do exist), since we 
already have a parsed form of the LaTeX and can output MathML off that tree.
