I'm trying to get the SRFI to validate as HTML 3.2.  HTML 3.2 doesn't have 
“ or many of the other entities, which makes that hard.  HTML 3.2 *does* 
let have embedded <!ENTITY...> values, so I just switched to those.  But in 
fact, that doesn't work either; current browsers show junk for the closing ]>, 
and don't really handle <!DOCTYPE...> as SGML well any more (at least, Firefox 
doesn't, and I think we HAVE to release a doc that Firefox handles well).

There just doesn't seem to be a way to make HTML 3.2 *AND* modern browsers 
happy when using named entities like these.

The obvious, simple, and universal solution is to switch all the entities like 
"&ldquo;" to "&#8220;".  That works universally.  You have to do that anyway 
for XML, too.  I think I'll switch to the numeric entities, there really 
doesn't seem to be a working alternative.

Anyone have a quick alternative?
