The problem here is indeed that the current MathML import in KFormula is 
a mere filter to KFormula's XML (see lib/kformulamathmlread.cc).
MathML in KHTML would be very cool, but this code doesn't really help there.
This brings up another question: Do we want to render formulas in 
KFormula in another way than in Konqueror or is it possible to get a 
common code base for this?

And yet another question is: Where would one have to start to bring 
MathML to KHTML? The quest is interesting but probably a bit too heavy 
for an occasional programmer like me, who only hacked a 
far-from-finished MathML filter. I mean, MathML in KHTML is more than 
reading and displaying; things like enliving expressions/JavaScript and 
DOM come in my mind...
