Sounds like an interesting project.

My company, Design Science, makes a WebEQ page wizard program for exactly
this task.  After you generate your XML with embedded TeX code, you
would send it to the WebEQ Page Wizard to expand the TeX code into
MathML, and optionally generate equation images or WebEQ Math Viewer
applet tags.  You can set various options about the MathML to
generate, e.g. whether to use a namespace prefix, etc.

It comes in a GUI version, and a command-line version.  You can get a
30-day demo at
