I don't think that was said.  Wasn't the phrase  "only browser with
_native_ MathML support"?

I may be lost, but is the intention here to argue against a browser
bundling math fonts for its own use rather than installing them for
overall platform use?  Or what?

(For platform installation unless a browser is re-distributed by the
platform vendor there are "courtesy" issues [who has the right to
install what and in which location] that strike me as overwhelmingly
complicated with too many opportunities for breakage.  Up until now
with downloaded Mozillas the buck has been passed to the user.  We
know it is not working well for most users.)
