Re: Including MathML in XHTML documents

Before the current range of browsers could handle inlined MathML
referencing mathml was more common, specifically using the original
netscape plugin API and the embed element or the applet API.
in each case refering to the mathml in an external file (or sometimes as
a quoted string in an attribute value) as a param of the applet or embed
object.

see for example the online doc for Techexplorer (which can handle both
inlined mathml and references using the embed element)

http://www.integretechpub.com/docs/techexplorer/Help/


has some discussion of mime types needed, and says:

    To set a fixed window size for the display of a document containing
    mathematical or scientific expressions using the techexplorer plug-in,
    use the EMBED HTML tag to define the size of the window and the source
    file containing the techexplorer expression or document to be
    displayed. For example,
    
    <EMBED SRC="math.tex" WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=200>
    
    or to embed a MathML file
    
    <EMBED SRC="math.mml" WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=75>
