XML entity definitions for characters

[David Carlisle <davidc@nag.co.uk>]

People using DTD entity declarations may be interested in a combined set
(any names previously defined in xhtml, mathml or ISO entity sets) being
drafted at http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/
The editor's draft there has no offical standing but hopefully it can be
submitted as a W3C Working Draft before long. (Essentially it's the old
MathML chapter 6, made into a self standing document, and enlarged to
include more entity sets.)  One reason for doing this now is that the
new Unicode 5.1.0 Beta release finally has suitable characters to act as
target for all the ISO entities.
