Comment: 
" For example, polyglot markup uses   instead of  . "

 
We would prefer your example to use the hexadecimal NER   rather than the decimal. See http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/REC-charmod-20050215/#C048
Comment 1 Eliot Graff 2010-09-29 23:00:20 UTC 
This section now says:

]]
For entities beyond the previous list, a polyglot document uses character references. For example, polyglot markup uses   instead of  . Note that polyglot markup may use decimal values for escape characters (such as   in the previous example); however, the Character Model for the World Wide Web states that content should use the hexadecimal form of character escapes rather than the decimal form when there are both.

Thanks for your patience.
