Of course, you need to exclude _the_ top browser, which does not
understand XHTML at all. It is able to process an HTML document as pure
XML, but then it isn't any flavor of HTML any more.

And virtually all browsers fail to process HTML as defined in HTML 2.0
through HTML 4.01, though most people won't notice this because they
don't use any of the advanced markup features.

"Local entities" are just as valid in HTML as in XHTML. But browsers
don't want to process them unless you play the XHTML game.
