On second thought -- the HTML spec acknowledges SVG and MathML as things you can natively embed in HTML.  Given that, I think we should special-case MathML as well.  Alternatively, perhaps the <math> tag should be removed from HTML, unless anyone is ever going to use it in real life.  (I think Hixie added it on principle, not because there was significant implementer or author interest.)
