We had a similar issue in ActiveMath's usage of OMDoc recently where 
formulae are in MathML-content or OpenMath and the resulting decision 
was that anything similar to mtext is doomed to fail, instead, one needs 
special *paragraphs* which were bearing the display-style (carried 
through all rendered formulae inside).

This is of course, really only essential if at the content level where 
mtext really can have no semantic but I wonder if it would not also 
apply for presentation MathML...
