A human reader viewing will ... immediately recognize that the entity “e” appearing in both has a semantically different meaning in the two contexts.
Content from the Digital Mathematics Library of T. Cole's PDF. This is why, I am talking so much about MathML, and not just showing mini-images of x squared equations.
However, look at this page. A conference of Mathematicians, about preserving Math, searching Math, cataloging Math, and paper to XML issues, besides concerns of Publishers.
Yet, look at the date!!! It is over five years old, and there still is not a "known convention" / just how it is done, way to put an equation onto a Web Page.
So, if you have an issue with how - I'm writing MathML content? I don't care, just doing it this way, until the W3C clears up the issue, and gets everyone to follow their ruling. This is the best working solution, I have found, and Google should scrap these math pages - fine.
