Steve,
Even with MathML the assistive technologies are going to need to know what Unicode characters to support. I have no idea if there is a listing of important Unicode characters and their proper names, but I imagine that a listing for Math (and music, and other disciplines) would be helpful - I wonder if that exists.

Thanks,
AWK
