Oh, you're absolutely right. My mistake, ISO-646 is US-ASCII, I forgot
that it formally changed to ISO-10646 in HTML 3.2. However, ISO-10646 is
mentioned in the prose of RFC 1866 several times and implementations are
advised that numeric character references (beyond latin1) should reference
those code points. However, HTML 2 does formally use Latin 1 (ISO-8859-1)
for char refs, but these code points are a subset of ISO-10646 anyway.
although to be precise, it is ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 rather than ISO/IEC
10646-1, i.e. all characters added to ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 are excluded. If
my reading is correct.
Similar issue exists with XML 1.0
