Yes - the Cauchy integral formula (as well as the Gauss divergence
theorem further down) on

    http://www.mathjax.org/demos/mathml-samples/

looks fine when HTML-CSS rendering is chosen. When MathML
rendering is chosen, the integral sign is too small. That's
what motivated the mathml:nil effort above, but it didn't pan
out. But even in MathML rendering, the integral sign, even though
small, looks better than the one I posted.

I'm using firefox 3.6.14 on Ubuntu 10.10.
