Most if not all of the CP 1252 80-9F entities are named in ISO8879
<ftp://ftp.ifi.uio.no/pub/SGML/ENTITIES/>. MS added ®, ©, and
&trade to IE, but not the equally-needed &hellip, &bull, &dagger,
&mdash, &ndash, &lsquo, &rsquo, &ldquo, and &rdquo. Surely these names
could have been added with little effort.
Given entity names, it would be trivial to write filter scripts to
replace the 'bad' numeric references.
