Recently in order to address #9502, @annevk sent a PR #9751 which updates the location (and version) of the MathML specification. However, the previous links were from the 2006ish era in which they were integrated when there was a single MathML specification. A lot has happened since then, including the development of a separate specification called MathML-Core which reflects what is designed for browsers and how it is integrates with the web platform. The new links added in #9751 though are from what is now sometimes called "MathML Full" which includes... well... a lot more. I've had it on my list for a while to send some PRs to update those references and I'm happy to do so if we agree that's what we should do...

I think that's probably the right thing to do.

WebKit/standards-positions#126 was a bit concerning, but it appears that has been abandoned?

Yes w3c/mathml-core#180 (comment)

In working on a pull for whatwg/html#9795 I ran into the situation where the id on the section which should be to the <mi> attribute, the id was "the-math-variant-attribute" which is "fine" but misleading, and a quick scan showed we didn't have ids on all of the sections... This PR just corrects the mislabel and adds addtional ids so that sections can be pointned to...

Note that we are not entirely consistent here - in some cases the id is on the heading, and in others it is on the section containing the heading. I think it's fine but if someone wanted to go make that consistent I wouldn't complain :)
