for demonstration purposes re moodle.org which uses mediwiki for
online docs  I set up a mediawiki at EdTech.alaskapolicy.net to use
asciimathml (took a minute) while others set up Tex for comparison.

While google chart API prsents some new options, it is high time that
google allow mathml.  I do not have google script access and wonder if
script access can be used to invoke asciimathml.js

btw, my original posting was done rather tongue in cheek.....   But it
would be nice if mathml in general took a giant step forward ;)
