It might be very worthwile to start updating the PostScript glyph names
in the various TeX Type1 fonts to match current standards, as soon as
Adobe has updated

  http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/type/unicodegn.html

to Unicode 3.2 coverage. This would not only make them more easy to use
for MathML rendering, but it might also solve a number of other
problems, such as currect Unicode string cut&paste out of TeX generated
PDF files with acroread, etc.

Who is currently on charge of these font files? AMS?
