I am interested in writing Chinese mathematical articles for wikipedia.

One major problem currently exist is the space align between the (usually) italic math symbols and its following Chinese character. As an example:
 * 范畴Set具有笛卡儿闭性. 定义X&times;Y为X和Y的笛卡儿积，ZY为从Y到Z的函数集合. 给定任何函数f:X&times;Y&rarr;Z，定义函数g:X&rarr;ZY为g(x)(y)=f(x,y)，则f由g自然确定.

There should be some extra space left out. Currently, most authors add extra spaces before and after the italic symbol, which becomes:
 * 范畴Set具有笛卡儿闭性. 定义 X&times;Y 为 X 和 Y 的笛卡儿积，ZY 为从Y 到 Z 的函数集合. 给定任何函数 f:X&times;Y&rarr;Z，定义函数 g:X&rarr;ZY 为 g(x)(y)=f(x,y)，则 f 由 g 自然确定.

This is fine, but less elegant. Or, we may use the more involved math markup &lt;math&gt;...&lt;/math&gt;, which is even more envolved, and looks worse for users with simple math html optimization:
 * 范畴Set具有笛卡儿闭性. 定义$$X \times Y$$为$$X$$和$$Y$$的笛卡儿积.

Another thing I noticed is that IE does a better job here than Firefox, which renders the math symbols using a more italic font, making things worse. The page here in English subsite also looks better than those in the Chinese subsite.
