There used to be a problem with the various names for epsilon in the
spec, and I believe it was only corrected when MathML 2.0 Second
Edition came out.

But you are correct that MathPlayer 1.1 is out of sync, and doesn't
properly recognize ε.  We have fixed this in MathPlayer 2.0,
which is nearing the end of beta testing and should be released in a
few weeks.
