This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/syntax.html#character-references says One of the entity names defined in [XML Entities], using the same case. but the XML entities spec lists several ISO entity sets not included in HTML or MathML, at least: ISOGRK1,ISOGRK2 and ISOGRK4 It might be better to highlight the mathml/xhtml combined list that is referenced from section 2 of the entities spec, namely http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007/htmlmathml-f.ent or equivalently reference the list in the html5 spec. But the entities spec has some additional information such as images of all the characters and warnings about problematic ones such as epsilon, so it's probably best not to lose that reference altogether. Perhaps change that bullet point to say One of the entity names defined in [html5 multipage/named-character-references.html], using the same case. See [XML Entities] for further information about character references. or something. (This comment should not be seen as a blocker for the next publication round, it can be taken as a comment on the next release)
