This is now an official WD dated 2007-12-19.  I'm happy with it, and
I don't think there is any relevance to XML Core.  This draft provides
a single consolidated list of entities from the ISO, MathML, and XHTML
lists with all inconsistencies removed.

I just released Version 1.2 of TagSoup, which is the first version of
anything HTML-related to accept almost the entire list -- TagSoup's
version is automatically generated from the DTD using a Perl script,
and I plan to have TagSoup track new drafts.

Promises become binding when there is a meeting of the minds and consideration
is exchanged. So it was at King's Bench in common law England; so it was
under the common law in the American colonies; so it was through more than
two centuries of jurisprudence in this country; and so it is today.
