Yes, I realize this - but are the new entities documented anywhere? E.g. I find
æ´
æacute;
(not a macron)
etc.
It's hard to write error-correcting code when I don't know what is intended to be the correct form. Also for capitals we get $AElig; as well as Æ. It might have been better to use a different notation for non-html (like perhaps &&entity;), as it would make writing translators easier. But I suppose it is too late for this now.

I was just thinking of actually correcting my copy of the file, and sending you a diff file for patching. Perhaps you do not consider this safe?

I already posted quite a lot of corrections on this list.
