I'll provide a jsmath mode. Probably during the winter break. Maybe
before that.

I got the xhtml+mathml code:
http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/temp/ax.xml
http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/temp/ax.pdf
Some visual problems need to be corrected, in particular for \eqno.
I made the following modifications to get the above outcome.
* Removed the
<<....>>
...
@
fragments, since I was not able to locate axiom.tex.
* Fixed in mathml.4ht
\T<\a:mathml mtr>
into
\Tg<\a:mathml mtr>
* Added {\csname HCode\endcsname{}} before ^ in the following three formulas
${^{HAND}{\bf tv}}_{\bf x}$,
${^{HAND}{\bf tv}}_{\bf y}$,
${^{HAND}{\bf tv}}_{\bf z}$.
$${\bf Rot(k,\theta)} = {\bf Rot(^C{\bf z},\theta)}\eqno(1.60)$$
As far as TeX is concerned, in all of the cases a base {} should have
been included. TeX4ht in many occasions has problems with empty bases
because they don't show in the dvi code. The code
{\csname HCode\endcsname{}} works for TeX and TeX4ht.
* Replaced
\begin{tabular}{ll}
vectors & {\bf v}, {\bf x1}, {\bf x} \\
planes & $\bigp$, $\bigq$ \\
coordinate frames & {\bf I}, {\bf A}, {\bf CONV}\\
\end{tabular}\\
with
\begin{tabular}{ll}
vectors & {\bf v}, {\bf x1}, {\bf x} \\
planes & $\bigp$, $\bigq$ \\
coordinate frames & {\bf I}, {\bf A}, {\bf CONV}\\
\end{tabular}
The extra \\ at the end is also inappropriate for LaTeX.

Well, garbage in garbage out ;-)
Wrong way to introduce text: $${\rm {or\ as\ \ \ }} ... $$
Wrong way to introduce
functions (sin, cos): sin \theta & cos \theta & 0 & 0\cr
Wrong way to emphasize math: {\bf x}
etc......
