Well whaddaya know... guess I really *need* to update that table (I didn't
realize that the MS page showed more characters than the other Windows
charset tables I had as references -- they must've sneaked a few new ones
in!). I've been planning to make a charset cross-reference table too;
I have one (Mac+Win+cp437) in an Excel spreadsheet, but not yet as HTML.
Gonna do an ASCII/EBCDIC cross-reference also, if I can figure out whether
the EBCDIC chart reads left to right or top to bottom... :)

That's why I don't have many entity names in that section -- just dunno
what to put. When an industry-wide consensus appears, along with browser
support, then I'll include whatever entity names have been agreed upon...
