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.
