they have to, if they want to support activex controls .. or use the -
non-standard - <embed> element alternatively. but only, if the component
provider supports this, like adobe with their viewer, unlike design science
with their player.

these unsatisfactory aspects were in fact a strong motivation to create the
'Universal MathML StyleSheet' (UMSS) as a workaround. see w3c's mathml web
page for this.
see also the parallel post in this thread, where david carlisle extended
that 'umss' to support svg also.
