It would be nice to add nicer math formatting. I currently use the
[[plugins/teximg]] plugin, but I wonder if
jsMath wouldn't be a better option.

I've looked at jsmath (which is nicely packaged in Debian), and
I agree that this is nicer than TeX images. That text-mode browsers
get to see LaTeX as a fallback is actually a nice feature (better
than nothing, right? :) That browsers w/o javascript will not be able to
see the math either is probably ok.
A plugin would probably be a pretty trivial thing to write.
It just needs to include the javascript files,
and slap a <div class="math"> avound the user's code, then
call jsMath.Process(document); at the end of the page.
My only concern is security: Has jsMath's parser been written
to be safe when processing untrusted input? Could a user abuse the
parser to cause it to emit/run arbitrary javascript code?
I've posted a question about this to its forum: --[[Joey]]

I think mathjax would be the best option. This is the math rendering engine used in mathoverflow.
