I have no idea why this even validates. The spec clearly says
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-MathML2-20031021/chapter3.html#presm.scrlim,
Section 3.4.2.1): "The syntax for the msup element is: <msup> base
superscript </msup>". So the correct syntax is:

<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
   <msup>
     <mi>x</mi>
     <mn>2</mn>
   </msup>
</math>

which is displayed correctly by Firefox.

I use Firefox for MathML rather extensively, and it works very well.
