In particular, long term, I'd like to see a situation where the browser had integrated XSL support along with support for math formatting objects. Then a stylesheet needs to do any transformations that it needs completely, without having any chance to post-process. (Although there may of course be some hook to some scripting language somewhere, as discussed on this list at some length previously..) In this case the particular problem of writing explicit XML entities goes away as you would be transforming to formating object tree rather than to presentation mml, but still this is the main reason I want to see how far I can get in a `pure' xsl transformation.
