Implementing MathML in the engine has been getting some traction lately:

Would native MathML support along with accessibility roles fulfill
your needs?
If so, I'd suggest you direct your energies towards that effort!

For example, I'd like users to be able to install an "add on" that
augments
the browser and "reads" MathML to the user using the native TTS
engine on the
platform. This isn't a plugin in the traditional sense as WebCore is
doing the actual rendering of the content.
I've looked at Chrome extensions but that seems to be at a higher
level. What
I want to do is add semantics associated with a certain kind of
markup. Think
of it as a "speak Math" service.
Any ideas?
