The index file is XML so the character entities like &trade; simply
don't work by default.  It's not easy (AFAIK) to add the entities
ourself with our current misuse[1] of XSL, without having to add them
to all XSL files...

[1] We keep real content the the XSL file where XSL is suposed to be a
stylesheet to transform between XML formats.

I agree the character entities (or whatever they are really called)
are much better for readability.
