Alexey Zelkin just inform me that   preserved in FAQ (good news!), so it seems there is some option exist to change this behaviour. Please try to find it or Russian pages looks very ugly in the browsers who have strict KOI8-R implementation like MSIE or lynx.

Looking at www.freebsd.org I found that sgml->html procedure replace things like   © etc. with their Latin1 8bit hardcoded values :-(

Please fix it ASAP, non-Latin1 pages are very broken otherwise. F.e. both © and   have different 8bit codes in KOI8-R than in Latin1.

Right way is to not translate &...; entities from sgml source at all and leave them in place. Browser always know better substitution for them.
