I'm assuming here that you're talking about generating HTML. Correct
me if I'm wrong.
That should work, if there is a non-character after. To make it work
either way, a ';' should be appended.
In /usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl/modular/html/dbhtml.dsl, it says:
(("trademark")(make entity-ref name: "trade"))
... which sounds to me as if it should do a real entity reference,
i.e. append a semicolon ...
If the problem is that ™ don't give the wanted symbol in some
browsers, try ™ instead.

This would be what happens now, right?
