If you cut out bits of the mathml stylesheet and change mathplayer to
adobesvg you get the following stylesheet which appears to render your
document, even when the mathplayer and adobe-specific object elements
are removed.

The same xml file also renders in amaya (the svg is clearly
recognised as it comes out big and blue, but not rotated).

This hasn't been tested at all except on the document you posted...

This stylesheet doesn't do all the more exotic determination of
available renderers that the mathml one does: it just does mathplayer and
adobe svg, always, but it could form the basis of a stylesheet for
cross platform svg.

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>



<h:p>XHTML elements are copied sans prefix (XHTML is default namespace

<xsl:template match="h:*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name(.)}">
 <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<h:p>This just ensures the mathml prefix declaration isn't copied from
the source at this stage, so that the system will use the mml prefix
coming from this stylesheet</h:p>
<xsl:template match="h:html|html">
<html>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*[not(namespace-uri(.)='http://www.w3.org/2002/Math/preference')]"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>

<h:p>Somewhat bizarrely in an otherwise namespace aware system,
Microsoft behaviours are defined to trigger off the
<h:em>prefix</h:em> not the <h:em>Namespace</h:em>. In the code above
we associated a MathML rendering behaviour (if one was found) with the
prefix <h:code>mml:</h:code> so here we ensure that this is the prefix
that actually gets used in the output.</h:p>
<xsl:template match="mml:*">
<xsl:element name="mml:{local-name(.)}">
 <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="svg:*">
<xsl:element name="svg:{local-name(.)}">
 <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
