Hrm. I write a lot of HTML/CSS. I have 0 experience maintaining TeX code. I find the TeX code easier to read and prefer the end result. I'd learn TeX to translate if I ever needed to maintain the equivalent HTML. I don't actually think you can get a consistent result in HTML/CSS across all browsers without a lot of effort. For me, the HTML version is missing characters and styling. I think those wanting to see the formulae would be happy enough to wait a second for it to render than be at the whim of browser warts and the loss of information.
