Very good point, Tim. In the layer cake, Unicode is below all the rest. If we had to bootstrap characters with URIs, we'd get into a tough chicken-and-egg problem. The entity names are just temporary crutches at a very low level; most XML applications (e.g. XSLT,...) don't actually let you see them, they transform to actual characters immediately, and that's what users will want to see in most cases.
