Netscape needs the decimal version &#8211; (a deficiency in netscape)

that's a bug in whatever system you are using. in HTML 4 and in XML the 
&#...; notation _always_ refers to the unicode number. The encoding of
the document is immaterial: that's the whole point, you can use &# to
access characters that are _not_ in the character encoding of the
document.
