"Lambda" has been spelled with a "b" as long as I can remember. I see both
"LAMBDA" and "LAMDA" in the comments in the encodings modules though. I'll
give it a try. Note that
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html
spells it with a "b".

Brian> LETTER THETA"
Note that there are both 'θ' and 'ϑ' HTML entities. I found
it here:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/symbols.html
but also saw it here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html
where it is marked "new". I suspect perhaps Python's codecs just haven't
caught up yet.
