In addition to how math should be marked/expressed
I would point out how it shouldn't be marked referring to common
bad techniques.
That is:
1. Do not use a TABLE to arrange several images that
constitute one equation/formula. Use one image instead.
2. Do not use <FONT face="symbol"> to "generate" mathematical symbols.
Use HTML character entities (or numerical reference) instead.
(FONT face should be used only for suggesting style)
Both techniques are commonly applied by various TeX/LaTeX to
HTML converters, some of which are referred to from the W3C's Math
section.
