XHTML and character entities

[Gabe Beged-Dov]

I mention tidy below but am asking about html->xhtml conversion in
general.

I use tidy to to convert html to xhtml using the -asxml switch. The
result of many conversions is still not accepted as well-formed because
entities like agrave and friends aren't defined unless you process the
DTD.

Wouldn't it be reasonable to convert these to character entities as part
of the html->xhtml process?
