Some very simple MathML can be emulated via existing and proposed CSS.
I have yet to see someone propose CSS that would allow the MathML equivalent of:
\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}\right)
in a reasonable way, complete with stretchy parentheses and square root.

A limited subset of it, yes.
This is not to say that we must do MathML; I have no opinion on that. I'd just
like to correct some misconceptions about the "MathML via CSS" thing that
unfortunately seem very common...
