Why bother?  MMA's output mechanism is identical to that of presentation
MathML (they basically donated it to the W3C group), so if you got Axiom
to generate presentation MathML instead of OutputFormat then you could
use Mozilla or Internet Explorer (or any other MathML viewer) to display
your mathematical output.  It would be much faster than going via dvi,
and provide some limited cut-and-paste interoperability with Mathematica
and MathML.

Cheers, Mike.
