MathML widget : XML or HTML elements?

MathML 2.01: 7.1 Embedding MathML in other Documents

..
"
Since MathML and XHTML share a common XML framework, namespaces provide 
a standard mechanism for embedding MathML in XHTML. While some popular 
user agents also support inclusion of MathML directly in HTML as "XML 
data islands," this is a transitional strategy. Consult user agent 
documentation for specific information on its support for embedding XML 
in HTML."

Mozilla does not support the mixture of XML and HTML within the same 
document.:

MathPlayer for IE however, does allow a strange mixing of HTML and MathML
