We ran into this problem at work. The type entities are
definitely the way to go, and should be preserved in the final HTML
output. You don't want the numerical ones because they may decode into
something entirely different in someone else's character set. Any decent
HTML reference has a list of them, I can dig mine out if no one can find
one.
