Do not forget rest2mathml, which produces XHTML+MathML. 
FireFox handles this great.  (I haven't tried IE 7: does it 
yet handle XML?)  If someone can patch (already wonderful) 
epydoc to allow this, that would allow truly lovely online 
documentation of technical code.  (In the meantime, 
I imagine you could pass the LaTeX raw: the people who care
about the math will often be able to read the LaTeX.)
