The concern is importing mathml content.

as I said before I have no objection to wiki syntax (I think it's a
good thing) but I think it should be restricted to wikis.

Not everyone needs mathml, if you are just going to write x^2 + 1 in
html you can now and may in the future, just go
x<sup>2</sup> + 1
But to simultaneously try to introduce the benefits of using a common
mathematical markup language, and to remove the necessity of using any
markup at all just seems completely broken to me.
