  Now that Unicode gives English names to all characters, couldn't we say 
  that all pre-Unicode names (SGML/ISO, XHTML/MatML/W3C, Docbook/OASIS 
  etc.) are legacy names which over the long run could be replaced by 
  entity names directly based upon Unicode names?

Such a scheme could be made to work, yes, although I might take issue
with "Unicode gives English names to all characters" what name does
Unicode give to the character which has the ISOAMSO name jnodot for
example?
