Or is just me that thinks this is a bit odd?
What about MathML?
The arxiv report that Moritz posted (after you had already asked your
question) says that he has improved the tooling to translate into
MathML, so this is in the picture to some extent. I would not consider
it as a workable input format (try writing in MathML! ;-). On the other
hand, there is AsciiMathML, but I don't know how useful that is (and
people know LaTeX much better). One could consider having MathML as the
internal format, and AsciiMathML and LaTeX as input options for writing
it, but this seems like a big project to get to work. I guess we can
exclude the option of using a visual input interface for math (Microsoft
tried that in Word once, they have a lot of developers, and yet ...).

For a consumer, the main practical questions would be:
(1) What subset of LaTeX exactly do you need to support to display
the math expressions in Wikidata?
(2) As a follow up: does MathJAX work to display this? If not, what
does?
Cheers,

Math extension interprets the text between the <math /> tags.
There is an API to extract identifiers and the packages required to
render the input with regular latex from here:
http://api.formulasearchengine.com/v1/?doc
or also
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc#!/Math/post_media_math_check_type
(The wikipedia endpoint has been opened to the public just
moments ago)
In the future, we are planning to provide additional semantics
from there.
If you have additional questions, please contact me directly,

Documentation? What will downstream users like us need
to do to
support
this? How is this mapped to JSON? How is this mapped to
RDF?
It is a string representing markup for the Math extension.
You can
already test it here:
http://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Q117940.
See also
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula.
Maybe Moritz wants to say bit more as his students created the
datatype.
Cheers
Lydia
