Could you please post an example, e.g. on jspwiki.org?

Well, not really! jspwiki.org is in english, AFAIK there are no HTML
entities in the default localization files.
I'm working on improving the German translation and replaced all the
ü,ä a.s.o. by their HTML entities ü a.s.o., then this error
appeared on many pages.
Let's take this example:
validate.invalidemail=Die E-Mail-Adresse ist ungültig!
This shows up as ungültig and not as ungültig.

Ah yes, now I see what you mean.

Yes, this is rather unavoidable, and to fix it in any non-hackish way would need a redesign of the rendering pipeline. Please put in the correct ISO-8859-1 code instead of the HTML entity. You can also use the native2ascii utility, if needed.

It's clearer, saves space, makes editing of the localization easier, and is in general a lot less hassle.
