Your method 1), below, does not produce correct results if one then
uses menu>Save As Special>HTML+MathML.

I view the resulting .xml file in a MathML-enabled browser (e.g.,
Mozilla with appropriate TrueType fonts installed -- the four BaKoMa
cm fonts, the "old" Mathematica "Math1", etc., fonts, and the two MT
fonts.  Then the everything in the originally multi-line inline cell
appears on one line separate by a ?, as do the alignment markers.  In
the page source, these unrendered symbols have codes #8289 and #63328,
respectively.

Is there an issue of the encoding used in the browser here?  I did try
Unicode-7, Unicode-8, and several of the "Western" encodings available
under Mozilla's Default Character Encoding.

Or is it something else?  Note that I do also have the "new"
Mathematica TrueType fonts ("Mathematica1", etc.).

P.S. I don't think Mathematica documents this, but if one wants a file
exported from Mathematica as HTML+MathML to be rendered correctly by a
browser, it seems to require an extension of .xml rather than .html.
