Hmm.  "&" doesn't match any numeric or named entity, so ...

if the selection is "&" and the user chooses the command "convert to  
named entity" it should still be upconverted to &

A simple rule would be

if ( regexp("&.{3,4};", str) ) {
	//string looks like a valid numeric entity
	convertNumericToNamedEntity(str);
else
	//string looks like plain text
	convertCharToNamedEntity(str);
}
