The idea is not to get it aligned with text, the idea is to get it roughly
the same size as text. <math>\mathbf{F}=ma</math> should look roughly the
same as '''F''' = ''ma''. At the moment even formulas on their own line look
ugly, because they are too big relative to the text of the article. I
recognise that different browsers/people use different font sizes, and
therefore have different ideas of how big formulas should be, but I think
the *default* sizes of PNGs should reflect the most common browser
configuration, not just whatever it was set to by the authors of TeX.
