One of the golden rules of Gemini is user control, and by *default*this would be off.MathML/similar via preformatted blocks would be fine IMO, *if the userenabled it*.

I don't see anyone ever making clients that render HTML as, well, whywould they?But I understand that concern.

The spec never explicitly disallows this, but it does say howpreformatted lines should be displayed, which ~kinda disallows it.

IMO this specific case of MathML/similar would be perfectly fine.
