Fixed.

The renderings in the spec are suggested default renderings.  Renders
are allowed to use whatever rendering they feel is most appropriate.
In these cases, the renderings were done by WebEq and WebEq choose to use
a notation that is particularly common in CS classes.  I've decided to leave
these in, since they are not wrong in any way and because they emphasize the
fact that the renderings in the spec are only suggested defaults, and are
not required renderings.

Fixed (wrong in the spec also).

Fixed.

Same as for lambda -- they are different but correct.

I've regenerated some images, but in I think that the spec's use of diagonal
arrows is not very standard and will be changed.

Oops.  Fixed.

These fixes will take a while to show up on the W3C site.

Thanks very much for your careful work.
