DocBook-XML seems to be a natural choice, besides the fact that it has no
native support for mathematical typesetting.  If/when MathML will work
together with DocBook and have a good TeX backend, the DocBook format will
be a strong candidate.  Sebastian Ratz' PassiveTeX looks promising, though I
never used it (see http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/TEI/Software/passivetex/).  

At any rate, editing math directly in MathML seems quite tedious and
verbose. However, I think that the present discussion has to do with choice
of formats and not with the actual editing.
