MathML and simple maths content

Hi all,

Is it preferable to use MathML for all maths content, even simple
additions, fractions, etc? Or would plain text ( 1 + 2 or 1/4 ) be
acceptable?

I get mixed results with MathML depending on which
screenreader/browser combination I'm using, and sometimes I wonder if
plain text would provide more consistent results.

Thanks, Isabel
