Of course, if Amazon/Kindle is the target, you are stuck with EPUB2 solutions. And given that Amazon still haven't solved their little embedded-fonts problem, you are stuck with displaying all maths as SVG if you wish to have consistent display of math symbols. And good luck with the proper vertical alignment of inline SVG's with superscripts etc....
SBT:

Even if they had resolved the issue, that doesn't address the KF7 side. There are, by all accounts, still millions of the things in circulation. Even if it were only a million--who wants to antagonize readers by putting something out that can't be read on KF7?
