> Currently to support HTML character references (e.g. &copy;) you need to put a HTML Doctype at the top of the TML file. 
> e.g. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
> However for HTML 5 they have stopped using XML doctypes and instead use
> <!DOCTYPE html>
> If you change tapestry page to use this you can no longer use entities as the XML parser doesn't know what to do. 
> Ideally there should be some kind of logic that detects <!DOCTYPE html> and include a suitable DTD to resolve the common HTML entities. The HTML 5 specification defines the allowed named character references - http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#named-character-references. There doesn't seem to be a DTD of allowed references maintained anymore.
