We do output numeric entities for those where we do not have a  
symbolic name -- it’s rather simple to change the command to always  
do the numeric entities.

I do wonder though if this browser compatibility is not just a myth  
-- and as was said in this thread, entities are really not required  
today with UTF-8.
