Entities: Proposed Recommendation

I'm pleased to be able to report that today the W3C has published
XML Entity Definitions for Characters
as a Proposed Recommendation.

It's only really a list of names and numbers, but it seems to have taken up a large chunk of my life since I accidentally fell into supporting these things.
