Won't necessarily completely solve the problem, because some things are
not so easily translatable from TeX to MathML. Here's an example that I
used a lot back in my undergrad days and have never seen a TeX-to-MathML
converter get "right":
\def\braket#1#2{\left\langle#1\vphantom{#2}\,\right|\left.#2\vphantom{#1}\right\rangle}
And then use \braket.
I would hope this is expressible in MathML but a brief look doesn't tell
me how, and the automatic converters are certainly not handling it last
I checked.
