I anticipate both of them incorporating it probably in the next
version.  It certainly will make loading pages of equations much faster
if they do - though it will take a while before one can presume that
most people will be able to view equations written this way.  I believe
Math ML plugins are being written too.  If anybody wants to get a jump
on the game (sort of like studying Java 2 years ago), go to the w3 site
and download their experimental browser/composer Amaya which
incorporates a subset of Math ML for both browsing and authoring.

If anybody is curious about other XMS's being proposed, I list a few at
