Jeff Schiller: >I think this isn't in the domain of SVG.

The better approach - server sided scripting (with PHP for example) is better for the final result, but not for data exchange. Exchange of information is a general problem for both scripting solutions. If an author needs to say: 'This is the function or these are the data and this is the presentation.' there is a clear requirement for a declarative method. And declarative and accessible graphical information is the core domain of SVG ;o) Scripting my provide additional decorative effects, but the core information should be notable in a declarative way, else the document contains no information at all. And of course for more graphical oriented authors scripting both with ecma-script or PHP is not really an attractive simple solution for the seemingly simple desire to get a graphical presentation of a formula or a data set.
