Actually, given  
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-CSS21-20050613/conform.html#intrinsic> I  
think the "problem" can be solved within MathML. If the MathML layout  
model defines a way to calculate the intrinsic 'height' and 'width' of a  
MathML document (this would need to be defined, taken into account  
embedded HTML and all that) I see no reason it can't already work just  
fine when embedded through <object> given the rules from CSS 2.1 for  
replaced elements.
