I meant it primarily as in 'sharp', 'not blurry', with a bit of 'pleasing' mixed in. PNG images get blurry when scaled up, while the new mode remains sharp. Additionally, MathML rendering can at least in principle use sub-pixel rendering to further improve sharpness. Not sure if Firefox already does this. The ability to scale well also allows us to match the (possibly user-selected) text size via CSS, which improves accessibility and overall visual consistency.
