It's conceivable that a few folks really honestly

Some people are using this method to have MathJax render the math on
Wikipedia pages, by installing the MathJax javascript in their user
javascript. Disabling the text-only option would also break this.
It would really be worthwhile for us to look into making MathJax
available as an option for all users without forcing them to modify
their user javascript. It's basically just a few javascript files and
some static files on a webserver. They claim very broad browser
compatibility (
http://www.mathjax.org/resources/browser-compatibility/ ) , and
everything is released under the Apache license IIRC.
