I have committed some changes to the maximaMathML package.
You can find the current versions at:
http://maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net/maxima/maxima/share/contrib/maximaMathML

After you load it, ordinary Maxima display is replaced by MathML display.
The function mathml reads and parses an input expression.

e.g.

load (maximaMathML);
sin(foo) + cos(bar);
 =>
PRESENTATION-EXP
<math  xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'>
<mrow>
   <mi>sin</mi><mo>&ApplyFunction;</mo>
   <mrow>
      <mo>(</mo><mi>foo</mi><mo>)</mo>
   </mrow>
   <mo>+</mo><mi>cos</mi><mo>&ApplyFunction;</mo>
   <mrow>
      <mo>(</mo><mi>bar</mi><mo>)</mo>
   </mrow>
</mrow>
</math>

CONTENT-EXP
<math  xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'>
<apply>
   <plus/>
   <apply>
      <sin/><ci>foo</ci>
   </apply>
   <apply>
      <cos/><ci>bar</ci>
   </apply>
</apply>
</math>
END-EXP


mathml (); /* next line is some input */
<math  xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'> <apply> <quotient/>
<cn type="integer">1</cn> <apply> <plus/> <cn type="integer">1</cn>
<apply> <tan/> <cn type="constant">&gamma;</cn> </apply> </apply>
</apply> </math>
grind (%);
 => 1/(tan(%gamma)+1)$
