It is interesting to note if the <math> element is not the document
element (in any XML document) it appears o.k.:

<foo>
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
...
</math>
</foo>

The "stretch.xml" example also appears o.k. if served as
"text/mathml" MIME type. Mozilla doesn't seem to recognize the
"application/mathml+xml" MIME type.

Nah, I've spoken too fast. I must have overlooked something.
Mozilla doesn't seem to recognize the "text/mathml" MIME type, too.
