It would remove the need for exceptions when parsing. The "&" would 
still be a problem, however, it still pops up when parsing. Also a 
unicode &nbsp; is invisible.
Personally, I'd prefer to be able to enter the code instead of using 
the mouse to choose something from a menu. OTOH, it's very seldom 
needed anyway.
