No personal interpretations needed here.

The original spec was recommending usage of MathML and now is not. That is
great and a big point in favoour of (X)HTML5.

Well, he just recognized that a CSS approach to render fractions (the
basic approach can be reused for other stuff as subsup pairs, tensors and
so) could be easily implemented in HTML5. How many browsers are natively
supporting MathML after of many years? And how many supporting content
MathML?
Many of us wait that many browsers will support native mathematical
rendering without MathML.

Anxious? You will see it in a next future. Let me a bit of time, please!
Whereas try some _preliminary_ results for Gecko (without MAthML usage)

Then, please, try also with bugs #9458, #18217, and #238072 in Mozilla and
other Gecko based browsers destroying CSS rendering of math since i
remember you claiming how "ugly" the rendering of math via CSS was ;-).
