[Mediawiki-l] Re: mediawiki1.5 & MathML

I am wondering whether there may be another alternative using the javascript
version of the ASCIIMathML converter (at least for mediawiki installations other
than the central Wikimedia ones).

If it were possible (and I can't quite see how to do it) to place the following
line into the <head> section:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/some_path/ASCIIMathML.js"></script>

such that Peter Jipsen's script is accessible
(http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html), then ASCIIMathML
notation would be available to browsers that were set up for it
(Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox and IE6+MathPlayer). For other browsers, they would
get the following message on top:

To view the ASCIIMathML notation use Internet Explorer 6+MathPlayer or
Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox

I realize that this may not be an elegant option for Wikimedia projects, but if
I wanted to implement this on my local installation, where would I put the
javascript line above (or is it prevented by security measures)?
