Sorry, I thought it has been approved before was added to entity list.
Comment in language-snippets says:
"These are here as helpers for manual consistency and brievety".
I doubt &safemode; entity could be useful, but look at sources: we have PHP vs <literal>PHP</literal> 4/5 vs <literal>PHP 4/5</literal>. Such entity could really improve consistency, couldn't it? :]. It could if the original idea was to use <literal>PHP</literal>.


Anyway, I'm going to revert it to PHP 4/5 (without <literal />). Is that ok?

Spliting could make harder way of PHP 4 developers are not familiar to OOP. But I suppose it would be best choise.
