The MathML support on the Mac has never been very satisfactory.  I've  
never really gotten it to work well enough to use, so I don't have  
much experience with it.  My understanding is that the output is not  
up to the quality of TeX (but what is), so it will not look as good  
to us as either images or jsMath, but it has some advantages (like  
being able to copy and past the mathematics into things like  
Mathematica, and for the visually impaired, it can be read aloud by  
the computer (with appropriate software).  That might come in handy  
for students with disabilities.
