http://www.w3.org/TR/mathml-units/ recommends the use of csymbols of the
form

<csymbol definitionURL='http://.../units/meter'>m</csymbol>

to represent units in content MathML.  Section 5.3.1 says 'To this
point, no fixed URL has been chosen to represent the base of these
definition URLs'

Has there been any further discussion on an appropriate base URL?  Is
anyone else using this syntax?
