FYI: By the time MathPlayer sees the MathML, IE has parsed it. In your
example, it looks like you were using HTML4, which means the IE parser does
whatever it wants to try fix things up. Sometimes it is reasonable, often
times it isn't. I believe if you try XHTML in IE9, you will get parsing
errors. I'm not sure what HTML5 (in IE9) will do with it -- but it should
be consistent between Firefox and MathPlayer.
