Markus-
After doing a bit more research on this, you are definitely correct -
the XHTML dtd includes these entity references. I do get errors when
trying to use anything other then the standard XML escape characters
(ie, anything other then <, >, &, ") in Firefox or
Safari. Its possible that this is a MIME type issue, or its possible
that neither browser pulls in the entity references - If anyone has
inside information on this, I would be interested in knowing why this
is the case.

Hi-
No, you don't. These entities are included by the xhtml DTD[1]:
<!--================ Character mnemonic entities
=========================-->
<!ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC
"-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN"
"xhtml-lat1.ent">
%HTMLlat1;
<!ENTITY % HTMLsymbol PUBLIC
"-//W3C//ENTITIES Symbols for XHTML//EN"
"xhtml-symbol.ent">
%HTMLsymbol;
<!ENTITY % HTMLspecial PUBLIC
"-//W3C//ENTITIES Special for XHTML//EN"
"xhtml-special.ent">
%HTMLspecial;

So while these entities are part of the XHTML specification, an
author cannot use them without declaring them... if only to make our
lives just that much more difficult....

I guessing that '« Preview' was supposed to be '
Preview'. And of course, even if it were , it
wouldn't work
in xhtml. Could this just be removed and replaced with
css padding?
The "laquo" entity is the left double bracket character. Here's a
good XHTML character entity reference:
