Even MathJax would be much better than what many large sites, including Wikipedia, still use - static images. It's very annoying not to be able to search for things inside the math, and the images are low resolution and ugly on a Retina Display. (However, I guess Wikipedia has a MathJax option; I wonder why it's not enabled by default.)

Maybe they get a lot of those mythical users who don't have Javascript enabled.

  It's possible to support both options. Alternately, in theory I don't see why the math couldn't be rendered on the server, although I don't think MathJax can currently do this.

    Similar to this (but with a different syntax)? http://www.quicklatex.com/ http://www.quicklatex.com/

      This appears to render to an image, which has the problems I mentioned. MathJax renders to HTML.
