From what you're writing I'm not entirely sure you think MathML has good or bad readability then ;)
But in case you don't find MathML's presentational syntax convincing for authoring, you can pickup SGML shortref syntax (a technique even older than MathML itself [1]) for at least eg. a highscool math subset in order to cut down on excessive <mo>, <mi> tags.

- runarberg 3y agoMathML was designed to be an easy target for other authoring tools. This includes graphical editor (just like inkscape is for SVG) or libraries (just like D3 is to SVG). I actually don’t like writing MathML, and I actually wrote a library my self that targets MathML.
