I think we previously discussed this and agreed that all non-ASCII in
the SGML docs should be written as entities. The existence of
violations of that rule is just, well, a violation that ought to be
fixed.

Ideally "sure, if entity-ified", but I don't know what to do about
HISTORY.
> * Should we allow non-ASCII characters in general source files?
Prefer "no" here.
