MathML is an output-only form that should never be seen by humans. XML
in general should only be used in ways that never passes human eyes. It
is *only* an interface protocol between programs, such as axiom and a
web browser, axiom and a notebook interface, axiom and a plotting
widget, etc.
Input to axiom (that is actually typed by humans) should always be
something actually readable, such as latex or axiom's current input.
Likewise, tex output should *always* be supported as well.
