FWIW, UnitStep and Heaviside are different in MMA:

Mathematica 7.0 for Linux x86 (32-bit)
Copyright 1988-2008 Wolfram Research, Inc.

In[1]:= Heaviside[0]

Out[1]= Heaviside[0]

In[2]:= UnitStep[0]

Out[2]= 1


I don't know if a separate unit_step is necessary, but I am not a fan
of aliases. :)

Cheers,
Burcin
