Hall=C3=B6chen! In HTML output, some characters (e.g. Hungarian umlaut, Polish l-slash, dotless i) are not printed nicely, but rendered as ASCII. Unfortunately, this also affects XML output, so I noticed. The reason stated in the source is that these characters "don't have HTML support". I think this statement is rather outdated. Very most browsers can digest &#....; for giving an arbitrary Unicode. It's part of the standard for many years. XML can do anyway, but before a lot of new "if"s pollute the source, I wonder whether you agree that this should be fixed for HTML, too. I even think that one should fix the "Glyphs for Examples" like "=3D=3D>" or "-!-", since there are Unicodes for them, too. What do you think?
