Comparing anything to a MathML implementation without giving the MathML impl the fonts it needs is totally bogus.

Yes, the font special-casing is uncool. See
http://listserver.dreamhost.com/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2006-May/ 006467.html for how to help fix it in the non-stretchy case. In the stretchy case, tight coupling with particular fonts will be required in the foreseeable future.

Whereas George approach will work for any font you desire you

It doesn't "work". The result is ugly! We are supposed to marvel the clothes, but the emperor is naked.

Developers prefer another couple of CSS rules rather than begin from zero
with a unfriendly spec (MathML).

Developers? Gecko is already well past zero with MathML.

Addition of general purpose features is defined in CSS 2.1 and may be
addressed by brosers *in any case*. Last MSIE browser has incremented its
native support for CSS 2.1 whereas continues ignoring MathML. The
inline-block CSS bug in Firefox is scheduled and will be fixed in a future
version.

specially in next Tim Bray semantic web,

I think you confuse Tim Bray and Tim B-L.

Since XSL-FO

I don't understand why you keep bringing up XSL-FO. I assure you that bringing up XSL-FO in almost every message doesn't help you make your case.
