These are in the MathML3 spec already.

although not a lot of detail is given, it does say:

Most of the detailed math alphabet descriptions were moved out of  the 
MathML spec at MathML 3 and moved to the entities spec.

The editors draft of that does list the Arabic alphabet block.

http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007doc/1EE.html

We should probably submit the editors draft of that as a 2nd edition REC 
at some point.
