Hi Bjoern, Actually the charmod conformance criterion is aimed at people developing specs, rather than content developers who are the target of the FAQ, and aims to ensure that a hex representation is available for use by authors. See, however: http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/REC-charmod-20050215/#C048 "C048 [I] [C] Content SHOULD use the hexadecimal form of character escapes rather than the decimal form when there are both. "NOTE: The hexadecimal form is preferred because character encoding standards (in particular Unicode) usually list character numbers as hexadecimal, making lookup easier." Which is close to what I wrote.
