That's what I was thinking of adding. The WordCodec stuff should handle
it, but I don't know how soon I can get around to it (hopefully tomorrow).
Do you think we should allow &foo; entities in the accents_map attribute?
If so, I'd need to SGML decode it before passing it to the WordCodec code,
but that's no big deal.
