Yeah... Do we really need those? Some of them seem reasonable to add, but 2000 seems like too many for the mnemonic advantage to beat just using Unicode codepoints... The problem with adding entities is that a LOT of people do things like href="/u?aa=foo&ab=foo&ac=foo&ad=foo" ...which today works, but would break if MathML entities were introduced (since &ac is a MathML entity). > Is is okay to assume HTML5 (with its <!DOCTYPE html>) as supporting all > W3C entities _by default_? Don't do anything based on the DOCTYPE. HTML5 is anything sent as text/html. > The other remaining issue might be with style matching because <math> > will then be internally in the MathML namespace whereas the HTML > document is in the none namespace (at present), but we will see how it > goes from there.
