We start by asking what people really need rather than resorting to politically correct rhetoric that nobody pays attention to when it's time to crate documents. Chinese speakers can type (or otherwise input) Chinese. Entity references are a hack to help a few users who have to type characters like © and é occasionally without having those symbols on their keyboards, nothing more. They would be a vastly inferior solution to what Chinese speakers already have available to them. -- Elliotte Harold
