AFAIK, Norman Walsh uses something like your method.

The spec has a chapter on this:
12.6.26. Flow Object Classes for Mathematical Formulae

The flow object classes for mathematical formulae are math-sequence, unmath, subscript, superscript,
script, mark, fence, fraction, radical, math-operator, and grid. 
 
Did you try this?
