P.S: I agree with you that the train left the station but would add that
just arrived to off-line publishing of math (e.g. publishers worflow).
Precisely, the CSS rendering is being here proposed _is focused to online
mathematics_ both XML and HTML:

<frac>
<num>b</num><den>2</den>
</frac>

<SPAN CLASS="frac">
<SPAN CLASS="num">b</SPAN><SPAN CLASS="den">2</SPAN>
</SPAN>

or HTML5-Math version if finally approved in the spec.
