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,

The string is interpreted by the math extension in the same way as the
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, since I'm
not a member on the list.

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
