My intension was that: files with "&xxxx;" can be opened, closed,
saved, inputed, and edited safely with any text editors in any locales
(because it is ASCII string), while UTF-8 and locale-dependent encodings
(such as ISO-8859-1 and EUC-JP) cannot always.
Thus, "&xxxx;" in English wml files should be regarded as ASCII in this
context (even if "xxxx" is Unicode codepoint) because it doesn't annoy
translators for various languages.
