You may also want to take a look at my backburner project http://pmml2svg.sourceforge.net/. I'd rate its output "pretty good" (with teenage-TeX-trained eyes :-)). Contrary to JEuclid (among others), pmml2svg composes stretchy characters from component glyphs instead of stretching individual glyphs. The workflow is similar to SVGMath. I am still dreaming of including it into my own workflow (at which point it should move from "backburner" to "afterburner" :-)), but for now I fear it is less well maintained than SVGMath.
