It appears that even with the most popular but obsolete browser
algebraic expressions, curves and diagrams can arranged using
the position in tables or the absolute,relative style="position:
statements in layers. It is very awkward and limited however;
hopefully, things will improve once the need is demonstrated.
One
combination that is possible is a .png mader from a .svg
with Bezier curves in it being made transparent and in a layer
over a Jipsen TeX like algebraic expression.
Another method that can mix MathML and .svg uses
foreignObject . However, there seems to be difficulty in mixing
plots in a transparent layer.

details with links to unpolished proof of principle

and
limitations is at http://www.issi1.com/corwin/sniffers/combine.txt .
Examples of mixtures of expressions, where a table is used for positioning,
and diagrams where some combinations work and
don't work are here.
You can determine what browser you have at
Alan Wood's
web site. If you have MS Internet Explorer your can use the
plugin detector .
Without the
proper plugins on your browser these features cannot work in
MS Internet Explorer 6. More advanced browsers may handle it. More
