Yes. But do we agree that formulas that are "sane to do in HTML", like x<sup>2</sup> + y<sup>2</sup> ≥ 0 for instance, should be written in HTML even when the TeX system is in place?
No. It sould be in pseudo-TeX.
I disagree: that way we send lots of unnecessary png's to our users. This wastes bandwidth and creates problems if people use the wrong screen resolution or non-graphical browsers.
Part of my plan is to make Wikipedias available on dict format and put it them into Debian packages. The less HTML it will use, the more useful these dicts will be.
Why not put the rendered HTML tree into Debian? That way all the formatting including tables will be the way the authors intended it to be.
In any event, I don't think that requirements of a possible future presentation format should guide our present editing decisions. Right now, Wikipedia is presented in HTML.
