Yes.  You just have to add it to <formatted> and include the MathML
DTD into your DTD as an external parsed entity.

Well, it's not easy.  On the other hand, you can pass it verbatim to
(X)HTML and XML DocBook.  Then it's not your problem anymore.  ;-)
For LaTeX (or BibTeX), you have to convert it with e.g. XSLT.  But
this has been done already by numerous people.
