Hi,
How are these entities handled?
∉
ª
º
ϖ
&sugmaf;
⊆
¹
²
³
⊇
ϑ
Each of these have other other entities whose names are subsets of the
above:
¬
∨
π
σ
⊂
⊃
θ
I guess that for compat with IE and the Web[1] we have to treat
"Résumé" as if it were "Résumé". So how do we
handle "¬i;"? When the parser has come as far as "¬" it can't return
U+00AC yet because it could well be "∉". But when it has reached
"¬i;" then it can't be "∉", thus it returns U+00AC, but then you
also have to reparse the "i;", right? Unless I'm mistaken the spec doesn't
say anything about that.
