testcase

In the attached test case (from the MathML spec), you see that invisible operators add space to the mathematical formulas. However, they should have width=0 and per the Operator dictionary (http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML/appendixc.html) no space around them.

is this ready for r?

> Source/WebCore/rendering/mathml/RenderMathMLOperator.h:91
> +    bool isInvisibleOperator() { return 0x2061 <= m_operator && m_operator <= 0x2064; }

this can be const

I don't think the patch will change much, but this applies on top of the patch of bug 115787 which itself applies on top of bug 124838... Did you find anything about how to make the accessibility test pass after the patch for bug 124838?

substract -> subtract

Interestingly, <p>_&#x2062;_</p> does not produce space on Gecko but it does on WebKit. According to Khaled Hosny, HarfBuzz handles these characters specifically:
