Hex references have worked in IE since at least 5.0 and in current Mozilla and Opera builds for as long as I can remember. The only browser still in use that does not support them is Netscape 4.x, and that browser is slowly disappearing (thankfully!:). The main reason, IMO, for allowing hex references is entering from and checking against the Unicode tables. I agree with Dan -- I think having an option for expressing character references in hex is a good idea; something like: hex-references: yes/NO /Jelks
