Therefore, all i can say is that MathML is being encoded as text/html, without namespaces and html extension. I know that Gecko engine display mathml reusing HTML table and CSS layout engines, and this may be vital for that the trick works, but this is beyond my knowledge. Maybe some Mozilla developer can asist us. On any case the page i cited proves that you can display math in html pages even if is an indirect way and that this apparently works for MSIE+MathPLayer.
