I don't think anyone every responded to you on this.  

I think the idea of the MathML-Unit value was that it should have the
same effect as setting mathvariant="normal".  Of course in a CSS-aware
MathML implementation, then you could accomplish the
mathvariant="normal" part by actually setting up a CSS rule using the
MathML-Unit class.  But for cases where you don't have a CSS-aware
MathML implementation, you probably want to put in the mathvariant
explicitly.  Even in those cases though, including the
class="MathML-Unit' at least marks the construct as a unit.

In any event, now that a Math Interest Group has been rechartered, we
can republish this Note, with updates and errata.  So if you have
other thoughts on the matter, please post them.  And I agree about
section 8...
