LGTM1 to ship MathML in M109 (just in case there is an issue that
causes printing to be reverted).

There are some new css properties included in MathML, correct?
Then one possibility for feature detection could be to provide
developers the ability to use CSS @supports inside print media
stylesheets to determine whether MathML is available in that
context.
<link href="print.css" rel="stylesheet" media="print">
@supports (display: math) { /* or other MathML property */
/* not applied in Chromium */
}
<link href="screen.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
@supports (display: math) { /* or other MathML property */
/* applied in Chromium and other browsers */
}

However, the situation now is that neither display nor
print of MathML works natively in Chromium. In turning on
MathML display, 99.99% (or more?) people will be happy to
have fast display of math; some small number of people
won’t be happy when they try to print it out.
For that group and the publishers that put out material
that tests whether MathML is available in the browser,
this would be a regression. It would be interesting to
know if any sites sniff for MathML support, or whether
they simply look at the browser and decide based on their
knowledge of support. I know of at least one site that
does the latter and so they wouldn’t suffer a regression.
Maybe all the sites do this because it is easy and
reliable? Even if there is no regression, please don't put
printing math on the back burner in terms of priorities.
Benjamin mentioned Wikipedia. I can’t speak for what
Wikipedia would do, but as long as they know that printing
is broken in Chromium, any decision to turn on direct
MathML rendering is their call, not Chromium’s. I suspect
given their concern that Wikipedia renders properly almost
everywhere, it will be a long time before they make a
switch. Right now, despite Firefox’s long support for
MathML, they still use SVG with hidden MathML on it.
On the supposition that there are some sites that sniff
for MathML, I think Benjamin’s suggestions are good. I
don’t know how feasible it is to put up a dialog stating
that printing math is not currently supported in Chromium,
but doing that with some suggested workarounds would I
think be a viable alternative until print is supported.
One workaround would be to suggest they download an
extension (that would need to be written) that loads
MathJax into the page in question when clicked. Another
suggestion could be to read the page with Firefox ;-). I’m
sure there are many more clever people on this list than I
am who might have other suggestions for workarounds.
My suggestion is to follow the somewhat worn out but still
very true trope: "don't let perfect be the enemy of the
good". People have been waiting years and years to get
math to display natively in Chromium and now it is ready
to happen. Please try to find a simple stopgap and get
this long awaited feature turned on.
