HTML WG last call remark from Steven Pemberton on 2000-05-03 (www-xml-schema-comments@w3.org from April to June 2000)

The HTML WG has requested me to relay to you a request that XML Schemas
include a facility to define at least character entities (such as &eacute;).

While we recognise that the full entity mechanism might be a burden, HTML
markup typically contains a lot of character entities, and we would like to
be able to define them when using schemas without having to fall back to a
DTD subset.

Best wishes,

Steven Pemberton
CHair, W3C HTML WG
