No, XEP does not do MathML. See

The DOCTYPE declaration in Mich3.xml does not look right. If you use the
following,

 <!DOCTYPE mml:math PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML/dtd/mathml2.dtd"; [ 
<!ENTITY % MATHML.prefixed "INCLUDE">
<!ENTITY % MATHML.prefix "mml" >
]>

does it work then?
