My dream of the future would would be that all software that displays or 
uses mathematical equations would support a common interchange format like 
MathML at the clipboard level.  That way we could cut and past equations from 
any application to any other application.  MathML is an XML based description 
language (See http://www.w3.org/Math/).  However, I am not sure that even 
MathML has enough information to actually describe the math of the equation 
and not just how it appears on the screen.
