Neither of these two solutions would work well, nor
would "upload pngs".
On further thought, I recommend a new namespace, TeX, and that the tex
source for an equation goes in it's own entry; every time the TeX is
updated, a new png is generated, and the old png discarded, but the old
TeX is kept, same as how old versions of articles are kept.
This scheme is comparitavely easy to code because it is an add-on
instead of involving changes to the parser itself, and it reduces cpu
load. Running TeX for every page with an equation on it could bring the
server to it's knees.
It would be nice if the resulting png could be made a link to the
original TeX, so one could edit that directly.
