Yes, I enabled MathML Formula support (via the ASCII MathML project) for all Moin wikis.  (Sorry if that message didn't come across... I thought RT would have sent you the whole comment that I entered into the RT system.)  You can see the MathML support in action by visiting this page http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/Formulas Note the red formula.

The content on that page that says formula markup doesn't work is now incorrect.  I will leave it to you to communicate the status (Math Formula support is working using the ASCIIMath plugin) to those TC members who care; and leave it to the TC members to update their content as they see fit.

This page talks about adding such support to MoinMoin software and the proper syntax to get formulas to show up in your wiki pages: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MathMlSupport
This page talks specifically about how ASCIIMath works (it's a javascript file).  http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html

/*
ASCIIMathML.js
==============
This file contains JavaScript functions to convert ASCII math notation
to Presentation MathML. The conversion is done while the (X)HTML page 
loads, and should work with Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape 7+ and Internet 
Explorer 6+MathPlayer (http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/).
Just add the next line to your (X)HTML page with this file in the same folder:
<script type="text/javascript" src="ASCIIMathML.js"></script>
This is a convenient and inexpensive solution for authoring MathML.

Version 1.4.7 Dec 15, 2005, (c) Peter Jipsen http://www.chapman.edu/~jipsen
Latest version at http://www.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/ASCIIMathML.js
