I've followed this subject with interest as our own institution
comes to grips with MS Code Pages  :-(

If I understand correctly what is happening,

Amaya will use named entities for US-ASCII charset,
hex entities for ISO-8859, and
numerical entities for UTF-8 or UTF-16

Perhaps this should be made clear in the documentation,
that the charset and/or encoding declaration defines the entity format.
That seems logical enough behaviour to me.
