It's worth thinking about future-editor issues as well.  Perhaps rendering
MathML client-side into a <canvas> is a better transition strategy -- it
would lead to a more responsive editor than having to do a server call
every character to update the render.

I haven't really looked into this -- are there any good javascript math
renderers?  (Compiling the TeX implementation in C into client-side
JavaScript using emscripten might even be an option.)
