Well, it is not question for me, but to the author. What is more
strange I tried to remove this script and still math was displayed
properly. Probably `sometimes on some servers synchronization does not
work properly` which could move all this to the category of
irreproducible results. I even connected remotely to my office comp
without TeX fonts....

There was a second one

http://www.math.toronto.edu/ivrii/Experimental2

and just for testing (probably at daytime if the server load is any factor)

http://www.math.toronto.edu/ivrii/Experimental2/moo.html

which is exactly the same file but without this script in question

Actually going along you can find javascript warnings that {amsmath}
is not understood but I will produce shorter and more comprehensive
and short in the end of the month (too many commitments until then)

Nope: thanks to you :)
