its not like EPUB3 treats them differently than EPUB2

I just asked this question because we do not speak about the same DOCTYPE for EPUB2 and EPUB3.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
is not the same as:
If I am not wrong,
- with the first (old) one, you can use named entities.
- with the second (new - html5), you can't.
But don't worry, I understand that the Calibre way will just stay the same.
