There is now a collection of entity definitions hosted at the W3C at
http://www.w3.org/2003/entities
This is a mixture of an update to the existing data at
http://www.w3.org/Math/characters
with most of the text rephrased to be less mathml-specific,
together with a new draft text of an update to
ISO/IEC TR 9573
To include Unicode (ISO 10646) definitions of the entities rather than
SGML SDATA entities.
All the data and scripts to produce the site are also available, linked
from the overview page.
Currently the definitions are identical to the definitions in the
forthcoming MathML 2 2nd edition PR draft.
The draft ISO/IEC DTR 9573 contains tables detailing differences between
these current definitions and the defintitions used by Docbook, HTML,
and the Stix Consortium.
It is hoped that this _draft_ set of definitions might form the basis of
a shared, compatible set of definitions between different XML languages
so that the current situation where <mo> & assymp; </mo> changes meaning
if it is copied from a docbook+mathml document to a xhtml+mathml
document might be avoided...
Comments welcome (here on xml-dev, or on www-math@w3.org).
