Subject:SGML->HTML: entities translation is broken for non-Latin1 charsets

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.
