[docbook] Equations in DocBook--general practices

[james_nola <jfs59@earthlink.net>]

Hi All,
I'm getting the impression that there are problems with various means of
including equations in DocBook (or other XML) docs. 
For instance, I've talked to people who choose to rasterize equations and
use the raster image in their docs rather than directly including the
mathml.

Is this a common practice?
It seems that one would get more control, and probably better image quality,
uisng the mathml directly.
So there must be some gotchas that drive some people to workarounds. 
Any insight appreciated. 

Forgive any redundancy between this and other posts: I've seen this issue
discussed in bits and pieces, but haven't found enough in the discusssions
for a naieve reader like myself to draw some general conclusions. 

Thanks,
James Smith
