Sorry for the delayed response and thanks to everybody for taking time to post on the thread. I have tried MAthJax but I could not get it to work offline. I am looking at jsMath but I prefer MathML since it seems easier to understand and remember and since it is XML based I think it will be easier to search equations in tiddlers by making your own text parser and make it cross platform to port equations. I know all browsers do not support it but Firefox supports it quite well and I think that is enough for me to stick with it, I am sure if any browser wants to support equations they will finally adopt MathML. Firefox displays the above XML file quite nicely given the mathml.xsl and associated files is properly accessible. But it just doesn't work inside a tiddler. The reason I am sure is the stylesheet specification statement which lies outside the html tags. So is there any existing way to make it work?
