In general this is true. However, there are legitimate reasons for using NCR over Unicode. See

http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-escapes.html

for some of them. I'd like to see both options available.

FWIW, I think the issue is rather lame.   The reporter is, for
some reason, storing characters as numerical character
references.  If the characters were stored as plain Unicode
(or unescaped back into plain Unicode) as they should be,
then there'd be no issues.  In other words, the user can solve
his own problem without any API changes.

The only really legit use case for escape="false" on a selectItem
is for something like selectManyCheckbox, if you wanted to
have HTML formatting in the label.
