I look at the URL above, and I see a loopy glyph on 3C6, and
 a straight one in 3D5; the reverse of what I see in the MathML specs.

Maybe I am checking at the wrong MathML document ?
I was looking at 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/PER-MathML2-20030804/003.html

Actually, I thought the MathML *names* are in agreement with the 
 glyphs in the Unicode charts (well, except maybe using "phi" for 3D5); 
 I was proposing that the *glyphs* be swapped in the MathML specs.

To make myself clear: shouldn't the situation be (to match Unicode):
3C6 -- loopy glyph     -- names: phiv, varphi
3D5 -- straight glyph  -- names: phi, straightphi

(where 'straight glyph' is the circle slashed by a vertical line, 
 and 'loopy glyph' is the other one)

Right now, in the MathML specs, the names are as above, but the 
 glyphs are not.
