I was rather thinking to make kformula widget bet embedded in khtml when 
mathml tags are found in a document (would require moving kformula to libs 
but...)

amanda (see w3c.org)

kdelibs, imho. A popular browser with math support is badly missed by 
scientifics and mathematicians today. Ugly workarounds (like JIT latex 
rendering to jpeg etc.) are available, but suboptimal.

Thanks for thinking of this :-) I just hope I'll have the time to help.
