My current browser, WebKit r64727, has native MathML support.
On your MathML examples page, /demos/mathml-samples/, you display the text "Note: Your browser does not support Native MathML rendering" which is quite incorrect, and then you replace all the MathML (which looked sub-optimal) with HTML spans (which looked good).
Disabling javascript and reloading the page fixes this "problem".

Yes, MathJax doesn't actually "detect" native MathML support, it uses a table to know implementations. It would be nice to be able to detect it, and I have some ideas for that, but that's not the current behavior. I'll put it on the "to do" list for the future.
