Hello www-html-editor,

the HTML 4.0 specification of 1998-04-24 is missing a couple of character
entities in section 24.4.1. Not only did Microsoft recently add the euro
sign to code page 1252, but Z-caron and z-caron were also recently added
(check out http://www.microsoft.com/typography/faq/faq12.htm, searching on
the string "Windows Western"). Thus, the following lines ought to be added
to section 24.4.1, in the "Latin Extended-A" subsection:

     <!ENTITY Zcaron  CDATA "&#381;"  -- latin capital letter Z with caron,
                                         U+017D ISOlat2 -->
     <!ENTITY zcaron  CDATA "&#382;"  -- latin small letter z with caron,
                                         U+017E ISOlat2 -->
