I really like this idea. Then the entities can be application specific,
although obviously the use of a common set is encouraged.
as John wrote earlier in the thread (about a different aspect)
I couldn't even support such an idea in principle. For me, one of the cornerstones of XML's value is in completely determining the lexical space. I think leaving entity interpretation to applications would kick a huge hole in that.
