In practical terms, what this means is a sloppy XHTML page with embedded MathML will generally display okay in IE. Of course it still crashes in Mozilla/Netscape/Firefox.
Fun. :P :)
I take it there is currently no convenient content negotiate mechanism in MediaWiki so one could serve MathML embedded in (X)HTML to IE, and HTML with PNGs to other browsers? When MathPlayer is installed in IE, it modifies the user agent string so it is easy to detect.
Not currently. Since the math rendering option affects the wiki -> HTML conversion it could play hell with our caching if done naively.
