[i18n-activity] Whether/when to mirror operators (#1838)

bert-github has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== Whether/when to mirror operators ==
According to [Arabic mathematical notation](https://www.w3.org/TR/arabic-math/) (a W3C Note from 2006), certain operators are mirrored in rtl formulas. But not all operators have mirrored versions in Unicode. For those operators, Firefox appears to make its own, while Chromium and Safari use the non-mirrored glyphs.

The MathML Core spec doesn't say which is correct, or if both are correct. Maybe it should.

(Firefox's rendering looks better, and more closely matches the Note, even if the naively mirrored glyphs are not quite as good as the redesigned glyphs that the Note calls for.)
