This is an interesting idea. Previously, I had been thinking of multiple presentation alternatives for notational choices (rather than supported protocols). This would be important, for example, in pulling together modules for a course or a book, where the notational styles of the collections differed. At the time, XSL seemed to offer a sufficient solution, but there is no reason that mathml with pre-generated notational choices couldn't be served.
