The main drawbacks of doing so are:

1. It's likely to mess up the nroff manual pages which are generated
from the HTML versions (unless someone's planning on adding code to
g.html2man to recognise the mathjax portions and re-write them using
eqn syntax).

2. It won't work with HTML viewers which don't support JavaScript
(AFAICT, the wx.html control used by wxGUI doesn't). Or images (e.g. 
lynx/links).

3. Network access is required to read the manual pages, even when
stored locally. This also has privacy implications.
