I think the question of ISO Latin-1 character entities in HTML can be
summarized as follows:

The following are all equivalent:

1) ö
2) ö
3) the-8-bit-code-for-o-with-umlaut-that-my-mailer-refuses

I understand that HTTP is defined as 8-bit clean, but is the same true
of HTML or HTML+? It should be, of course, but I don't think it is in
the DTD. (I may be misreading the <!SGML declaration, though.)
