/ Elliotte Rusty Harold <elharo@metalab.unc.edu> was heard to say:
| <doc xmlns:e="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xmlcharent/names">
| <p>This document uses the character names element to access
| character entities, such as "<e:char codepoint="0xE9"/>".</p>
| </doc>
How would that differ from é?
The point of the character element is to allow people to use names; if
you really want to use codepoints, can't you just use numeric
character references?
Be seeing you,
norm
