<p>We provide (at least here) two entity handlers. The more extensive
resolver consults a hash first, tries to convert to <l n='utf'/> next,
and finaly calls a handler when defines. When this all fails, the
original entity is returned.</p>

<p>We do things different now but it's still somewhat experimental</p>
