In this thread, Dawn Falcon suggested that ePub may get support for MathML down the line.

I'm all with you that it would be great to have a technically-apt mark-up langauge with some tweaks for reflowable ebooks. I don't care much whether it were LaTeX-based or (X)(HT)(Math)ML based, though from what I've seen of MathML, TeX markup is a lot less messy and easier to compose in. There would have to be some changes and additions though.

The idea of Kindles being used for textbooks when most of them don't even support ePubs much less PDFs is at present a kind of lunacy. The .mobi format and similar just can't do what needs to be done.
