The whole idea of extending the repertoire is wrong. We have lived with
a certain set of entity references (now being renamed “named character
references”), widely supported by browsers, except possibly in XHTML
mode. Authors who need other characters can enter them as such, using
UTF-8 (which is being favored, is it not?) or using numeric character
references.
Personally, I like named entities, I use them all the time to get the
correct Unicode code point (e.g. data:text/html,·). That is often
faster than looking the character up somehow.
