One possible solution is to pass through unknown entity refs

I really like this idea. Then the entities can be application specific,
although obviously the use of a common set is encouraged.

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.
