I've gone ahead and implemented the initial part
for 1.19 (disabled the
math rendering options other than PNG and source), and opened another bug
entry with some details on how to add the baseline shifting that should
make PNGs nicer inline:

While I'm mucking about in there, I'd like to note that I'm also interested
in making higher-resolution images, suitable both for printing and for
high-density screens (iPhone 4 being the best-known example in use in the
wild). Generating another PNG or two should be easy; getting them to
display reliably might be slightly funkier. :)

When I've got something working for that I'll check around to make sure it
works consistently for people and doesn't break any tools.
Did you have a chance to evaluate MathJax? <http://www.mathjax.org/> I know
it's come up in past math discussions and that a lot of math folks think it
looks promising. A technical analysis of its feasibility on Wikimedia wikis
would be great. Killing the less-used, ancient math options is great, but
perhaps adding one wouldn't be too bad to do too. :-)
