[Bug 13108] Add &zwsp; as named character reference for zero width space (U+200B)

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13108

--- Comment #9 from David Carlisle <davidc@nag.co.uk> ---
Note that U+200B; can be accessed as &#x200b; or &ZeroWidthSpace; already so
adding &zwsp; as an alias for that isn't really adding any new functionality
even if it were added then the the fallback on legacy systems that don't define
it is sufficiently bad (printing "&zwsp;" in html or making the entire document
be ill formed in XML) that the advice to users would be to use one of the
existing forms.

Thus my preference would be not to add a name (we have only added one name
since 1998) but as I said in comment #2 if the consensus is to add it I would
of course update unicode.xml so it worked its way into mathml and html and the
xml entities specs.
