XHTML 1.0 defines general entities for commonly-used unicode characters: http://www.w3.org/TR/html/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent: Latin-1 characters http://www.w3.org/TR/html/DTD/xhtml-special.ent: "Special" characters http://www.w3.org/TR/html/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent: Symbols These should be in the tree and referenceable through chrome urls. For example: <!ENTITY % HTMLspecial PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Special for XHTML//EN" "chrome:///entities/xhtml-special.ent"> %HTMLspecial; The front-end should be able to make use of these. For example: <!ENTITY titleSeperator.label " – "> as in bug 22871.
So where should these files go?
ok, they're going in xpfe/global/resources/content. they'll be referenceable as chrome://global/content/whatever.ent. patch on the way...
Sounds a cousin of bug 44458 which has a list of XHTML entities in DTD form.

Do we really need these? Most localizations use non-ASCII characters and there have been no problems using UTF-8 for these.
Karl: The Latin-1 characters (ö for example) aren't what we're really interested in here. We're mostly interested in the typographic characters ( , –, • and so forth), which are of general use in the UI. Case in point: bug 22871. Also, bug 44458 is on my radar...
