In my opinion, a slew of named entities make html equally impossible to make sense of. so I don't bother trying to preserve them at all. With the exception of the non-breaking space entity, I see very little compelling reason to use entities (except the standard required ones for (&, <, >) at all--named or numeric. The actual unicode characters work just fine and read much better in code, in my opinion. Why use a 4 or 5 character code to represent a single character?
