Per this discussion in the support forum: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mathbook-xml-support/IvU4donIqrg/KWxtyyUwDwAJ improve loading of MathJax extensions so that it can be configured on a per-document basis.

I think "configured" should be narrowly interpreted to mean "can add new ones". If you need a package that is missing, then it can be added.

If you don't need a particular package, I speculate that the performance improvement by omitting it is negligible, and so that feature should have a very low priority.

My current thought is to have

docinfo/mathjax/extension

You can have several of these - the indicated package is a MathJax extension to model some existing LaTeX package of the same name. You get a \require{} MathJax-load on the HTML side and a \usepackage{} (late) in the LaTeX preamble.

If that works for your project, great. If it doesn't (conflicts, etc) then tough. You can, of course, change the order of the "extension" elements, but that is the only recourse you'd have.

All the necessary information is clearly present in the author's source and no other project needs to be concerned with a package used this way. If the package is popular, we could make it "permanent" and commit to supporting it, if we wanted to.

I do not like the way the extpfiel package is currently incorporated (an addition for an early adopter), so would be happy to see that change.
