They detect the browser being used (which is one reason they need to be
client side) and then do whatever is needed to display mathml.
In the case of mozilla they do content mathml to presentation mathml
translation, and for IE they make sure that all mathml elements are
explictly prefixed, and then use microsoft-specific processing
instruction and object element in the document head to bind that prefix
to a behavio(u)r extension that renders mathml. Currently using those
stylesheets (or something like it) is the only way iknow of having teh
same xhtml+mathml document render in all MathML capable browsers (Amaya,
IE, mozilla, Netscape)
