Yes this occurred to me too. However the MathML interface has some
funkiness that I wanted to wrap up.
It's much harder to think of a generic catch-all API than it is to solve a
specific problem.
If we work from this some other hacker may come up with a better, more
generic solution and we'll change the MathML plugin to suit.
