To me, that sounds like an argument for *not* including it by default.

Do I understand correctly that it is only needed to download the fonts
*once*? Or would it be needed in every new session with the single
cell server?

I'd say:
 * If a user doesn't mind to pull fonts from the web, then there is no
reason to have an oversized standard package.
 * If a user really *never ever* wants to be connected with the
internet while running the single cell server, then s/he should better
install an optional MathJax package first.

So, I am for making MathJax an optional package *separate* from the
sagecell spkg.

Cheers,
Simon
