--- Comment #3 from Daniel Kinzler <[email protected]> ---
This is tricky... MathML is by far easier to re-use by third parties, and in
general a saner format for storing formula. But we don't have any facilities
for rendering it server side for clients that don't support it well enough. 

For TeX syntax, we have a tried-and-true rendering backend that can render to
PNG and MathML (and perhaps SVG in the future). This would make it a lot easier
to implement formula display, but we would be stuck with TeX for the internal
representation. 

With regards to editing, there is another trade-off: TeX formula are a lot
easier to edit by hand, but MathML is easier to handle by third party editors.

Ideally, we would be able to convert between MathML and TeX on the fly. For
simple things, that should work fine, but...
