Yes I know but the XML Rec. states that:

  [4.6 Predefined Entities]
  For interoperability, valid XML documents should declare these
  entities, like any others, before using them.
 
BTW I think it is a good idea to at least include the entities that
HTML includes. Netscape's bookmark file is HTML and maybe there are
others that store their bookmarks in HTML. It's silly if an
application translates something like &Auml; into &amp;uml;
