I have investiaged the symbols options further: John Maddock and I conclude 
that he was right all along ;-)

The HTML4 list of about 130 symbols is the most practical use, mainly because 
IE6 and 7 browsers do not display many more than this.
Firefox 2. is by far the best for showing the squiggles so necessary for 
mathematicians to express themselves fully, and elegantly.

I have prepared a page or two of jotting for those who are interested, and a 
handful of files that may be useful.  HTML4_symbols.qbk
will be most widely useful.

I suggest that a std.qbk should include this file, and perhaps other generally 
useful items, defs and templates, etc too.  Perhaps
it is premature to produce this just yet?

Meanwhile, can you suggest (preferably politely) where I should put my files:

QuickBookSymbols        516,206 File Folder     12-11-2006 11:05:03
HTML4_symbols.xls       29,696  Microsoft Excel Worksheet       31-10-2006 
22:50:01
MathML_symbols.qbk      227,123 QBK File        01-11-2006 15:46:22
MathML_symbols.txt      184,263 Text Document   31-10-2006 14:40:40
quickBook SYmbols.txt   5,151   Text Document   12-11-2006 16:27:25
squiggles.qbk   1,632   QBK File        12-11-2006 10:42:02
test_HTML4_symbols.html 3,234   HTML File       31-10-2006 23:01:12
Test_HTML4_symbols.qbk  1,409   QBK File        12-11-2006 10:24:20
test_MathML_symbols.html        28,819  HTML File       31-10-2006 17:21:01
test_MathML_symbols.qbk 26,635  QBK File        01-11-2006 15:52:15

Perhaps as a zip?

HTML4_symbols.qbk       8,244   QBK File        12-11-2006 16:36:10

is the most useful and should be easy to find and use.
