There are plenty of such users and basically it is a slippery slope leading to "You must use Internet Explorer 6 or 7, or Firefox 1.5, 2 or 3 (for Mac users). Please note that Firefox 3 is now supported for the majority of Campus Business Connect Applications such as ESS, My Research on-line, Expense Reimbursements, etc. If you experience any problems with FireFox 3 using these applications, please contact AMS help." (taken from http://www.ams.utoronto.ca/Services/Campus_Business_Connect/System/Security_and_Browser.htm as of today) I definitely prefer to use MathJax to texh4t because tex4ht trying to provide the page fidelity thus prevents reflow of the html text. tex4ht and MathJax (and jsMath) are based on the different ideologies: texh4t deals with the whole document but MJ only with math snippets leaving the rest to html. Also tex4ht results in html source which is difficult to edit and tex4ht does not play well with wikis, blogs, forums and CMS. IMHO tex4htwMJ should have few switches: for html, wiki, forum, blog, CMS (each configurable) trying to replace f.e. \section{} by say <h1> </h1>, - -, etc BTW as internally MJ is MathMl it leads to certain limitations like lack of \intertext command.
