Probably would have saved Greg much woe describing gcalc buttons :)

Something I have noticed, however, even with the more "standard"
(as in: they're in the appendix in the DocBook book) entities, is
that some browsers don't know how to render them. There was one
entity which should have come out as a right-pointing arrow (→)
and I tried that. Lynx did a "->". Mozilla ignored it. Netscape
printed something utterly different. And I forget what gnome-help-browser
did with it.

I'm not familiar with this MathML thing, so I might be talking about
something utterly different, of course.
