Ok.  I guess that it supports mathord, but not \text{\l{}} in argument
to \mathord, which is somewhat expected, as \text{} can be anything
LaTeX accepts in text, but mathjax needs to be able to convert to svg,
so it makes sense to concentrate on true math.

I guess that there is nothing that can be done, except to make sure that
with --enable-encoding set characters are directly output encoded.
