Okay, now I'm really confused. This sounds like Juan has nothing more than
sour grapes to vent because somebody is using a tool for which he thinks
CSS could conceivably be used instead. Surely I've misunderstood. Surely
that's not what all this is about.

Let's see. If I were the IE product manager at Microsoft, I wonder if I'd
be doing a cost/benefit analysis to determine how much money I wanted to
throw at developing native support for MathML, and I wonder if the
proportion of IE users requiring the feature would play a role in that
analysis.

How many browsers have native support for GraphViz? Why not?
