I'm not sure want you are trying to say... Do you still edit
your XML files with a plain text editor?

SGML per se doesn't define any entity. HTML, as an SGML language,
does, you can grab the definitions from the W3C server.

Duh? You can get the HTML entity definitions from the W3C and
roll your own DTD fragment. The DocBook DTD (http://www.docbook.org)
has also an extensive collection.
I personally abandoned dealing with entities representing character
references after i managed to configure Emacs to do the hard work
for me.
