Follow up in 2015 with essentially the same conclusions:
"Acetylsalicylic Acid Daily vs Acetylsalicylic Acid Every 3 Days in Healthy Volunteers: Effect on Platelet Aggregation, Gastric Mucosa, and Prostaglandin E2 Synthesis"
Nor do most folks using it. Which isn't totally novel: I have almost no idea how an internal combustion engine works. But I do know enough to realize that it's not appropriate to drive my car on a bike path.
Same use case (math-heavy, no-javascript blog), but I ended up with a _slightly_ different approach: instead of converting to SVG, convert to MathML. Browser support is pretty robust, and the output is much nicer (e.g. preserves fonts).
