This would certainly not be the usual way a mathematician would represent 
a square root; and while it may work for one or two isolated formulae, 
I can't imagine it being a good solution for a page with a lot of 
equations. 
 
It may be a good solution for image alt text though.

It's not bad, and the way you've done it does degrade quite nicely without 
stylesheets, but I maintain that for complex formulae, HTML doesn't cut 
it. The non-presentational parts of MathML are good, but lack decent 
browser support at the moment, so for now, images are the most sensible 
option.
