Subject:   SGML->HTML: entities translation is broken for non-Latin1 charsets
Message-ID:  <20000304134300.A24194@nagual.pp.ru>

Looking at www.freebsd.org I found that sgml->html procedure replace
things like &nbsp; &copy; etc. with their Latin1 8bit hardcoded values :-(

Please fix it ASAP, non-Latin1 pages are very broken otherwise. F.e. both
&copy; and &nbsp; have different 8bit codes in KOI8-R than in Latin1.

Right way is to not translate &...; entities from sgml source at all and
leave them in place. Browser always know better substitution for them.
