Suggested edits and edit history show the Markdown source -- except for Mathjax, which is rendered. This makes it hard to review edits or even to know if there's a small change lurking in the math. Can we find a way to make the raw Mathjax available?

A larger change that would solve this problem too would be for suggested edits and history to offer two views, raw source (all of it including Mathjax) and rendered output. This could be a toggle. This has the added benefit that when reviewing an edit that changed a bunch of formatting, you can see the before and after states. I don't know whether this broader solution is enough bigger/harder that we should consider it separately and meanwhile do something more targeted about Mathjax, or if it makes more sense to jump to that directly.
