That looks like a great start on the problem.

My guess is that it's really designed for 
rather short TeX snippets such as a single
equation or image that can be included inline
with HTML. How it would fare rendering large
documents?

Another issue is that while it's relatively
easy to process a single, self-contained
document serverside, many real-world documents
could require dependent images or table data,
and that would lead to a more complex system
for file management. 
My solution would be to keep a pool of uploaded
files in the users/session directory that are
either overwritten by new uploads or deleted 
after one hour on a cron job by timestamp.
