I think that's a good plan, but I think we should go further and move 
everything to the wiki and make mozilla.org/projects/mathml redirect to 
the wiki page. For now we can simply link back to the www.mozilla.org 
pages for the demos. In the slightly longer term, when the HTML5 parser 
is enabled by default we should ensure we can put MathML in the wiki 
HTML markup!
