So you convert LATIN1 characters to HTML entities so that it's easier
to detect non-LATIN1 characters is in the SGML docs? If my
understanding is correct, it can be also achieved by using some tools
like:

iconv -t ISO-8859-1 -f UTF-8 release-17.sgml 

If there are some non-LATIN1 characters in release-17.sgml,
it will complain like:

iconv: illegal input sequence at position 175

An advantage of this is, we don't need to covert each LATIN1
characters to HTML entities and make the sgml file authors life a
little bit easier.

Best reagards,
