Support is on its way out:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=515494

The non-support on MathML elements is an accident. Most of the SVG  
stuff doesn't really use XLink facilities but uses the same attribute  
names, which pretty much shows how a generic mechanism is a failure in  
practice.
