originally math elements only parsed into the mathml namespace and got 
rendered in XHTML parsing, the HTML4 parser just rendered them as 
unknown elements. That function allowed rendering in text/html by 
lifting them out and replacing each math element with a a "copy" using 
mathml namespace elements.

So it's not needed since the HTML5 parser does this automatically.
