Why isn't this like suggesting to a LaTeX user that they could ``just'' use the TeX tables to enter special characters rather than the symbolic names? Would such a suggestion ever be offered by anyone who actually thought they were talking to a *user* of LaTeX, in the sense of someone who writes and reads the ASCII files? (As opposed to, say, an interface designer or the user of an interface to LaTeX.) I'm just a user: character entity references are great. --Alan Isaac
