you can also think of a mixture: content mathml for nicely structured
formulas and a simple tex mode for inline math:
\defineXMLargument[tm]{\XMLtexmath}
\def\XMLtexmath#1{\bgroup\setnormalcatcodes\scantokens{\mathematics{#1}\ignorespaces}\egroup}
\startbuffer[test]
Sometimes it makes sense to use simple math, as in: <tm>e=mc^2</tm>.
\stopbuffer
\processXMLbuffer[test]
(i will provide a 'calcmath' filter once luatex is there)
