Yeah, I see the whole image-based approach can be

Have anyone considered using jsMath instead? At least they claim
compatibility with really wide range of browsers/versions:

It looks like that uses images as well, at least unless you install
their special fonts. In the long term we probably want to use MathML
-- HTML5 currently requires MathML support, and Firefox 3.6 does
support it in text/html if you turn on the HTML5 parser. It might be
supported in text/html by default in 3.7 (I don't know when they plan
to make the HTML5 parser default). For the short term, we might
consider at least allowing foreground and background colors to be
changed inline on a per-<math> basis -- I'd guess this would be pretty
simple.
