Currently we're using a MediaWiki plugin that supports LaTeX [1]. Enclose LaTeX in <math>...</math> tags.

Absolutely, we need them!

Essential to provide LaTeX support for any serious effort in mathematics and related fields.
Michael Kohlhase's group at Bremen  http://kwarc.info/ has state-of-the-art tools
for LaTeX to XML/HTML support. They are the current maintainers/developers of Bruce Miller's
LaTeXML http://trac.mathweb.org/LaTeXML/
If acawiki dev has any cycles for LaTeX support I suggest contacting Michael for advice.

Good idea! That belongs on the roadmap.
