Let me start by saying that I am not an expert on MathML. I believe
that the core issue was: at the time MathML was developing Unicode
did not have codepoints for its math symbols. I believe that Unicode
3.2 now has codepoints so a TrueType font could have the MathML
glyphs defined in the Unicode cmap.
