Frankly, I'd *much* rather see:

I very much second that. Entities have been one of the worst features of
XML (and, in the

Picking the HTML entity names is better than the Unicode ones as the

I fear there are too many missing ones for that.
Any reason we couldn't

I'm not so sure about that. I can already see those mathematician/physicists

Robin Berjon asked:
Unicode has a *lot* of potential operators.
Are all these for use in the core language though?
Not yet...but give us time! ;-)
I was thinking about defining short names for the core stuff, and people
can use the thirty letter names for more complicated things.
Yes. But
