User interface suggestion

Recently at English Wikipedia's Help talk:Displaying_a_formula (sorry, the editor here won't actually let me link), a user raised a reasonable complaint. In Preferences / Appearance / Math, the two radio button options are to render math as LaTeX source or as SVG. The typical user doesn't know what either one is. They just want to see well-typeset math, like in publications. So how about re-wording the second option? Maybe "publication-like notation rendered via SVG"? Or something better! Thanks.
