Of course, the semantics are not defined, but, relative to default
semantics, you've used mtext where I think it would have been better
to use mi (without, for correct user agents, changing the rendered
appearance). Thus, the mrow might be:
<mrow>
<mtext>An example: </mtext>
<mi>aaa</mi>
<mo>+</mo>
<mfrac><mn>1</mn><mn>2</mn></mfrac>
<mi>aaa</mi>
<mo>+</mo>
<mfrac><msup><mi>A</mi><mi>A</mi></msup><mi>b</mi></mfrac>
</mrow>
