Personally, I think MathML is so hopelessly verbose for hand authoring

a future version of itex2mml or similar) to be served through content
management systems that are not built around a SAX pipeline or an XML
tree API or XSLT but are built as tag soup systems and simply cannot
guarantee well-formedness. I mean systems like WordPress and MovableType.
Please don't confuse what these systems won't do with what they can't
do. I personally wrote a system like this that maintained full
well-formedness at all times despite TagSoup input. In fact, that was
one of the easiest parts of what it did. See

Today's tools and libraries make it easy for anyone using anything more
advanced than a text editor and FTP to publish well-formed documents.
Tools that don't do that by default should be fixed.
