I would say MathML is not widely used because MathML doesn't work in HTML, 
personally. If we made MathML work in HTML, possibly with rules that make 
the syntax easier (by implying tags as I suggested earlier), then that 
might well change, especially given that one UA already has extensive 
and high-quality support for MathML.
