We started discussions along these lines in July:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Reduce_math_rendering_preferences

At least some of the options will most likely be pared down, perhaps leaving
only "Always render PNG" and "Leave it as TeX" (primarily useful for people
using mathjax add-ins). Best results would come from adding baseline
information to aid in positioning the PNGs, but don't know how hard that'll
be.
