Yes, I kept the NCR-escaped versions because the ietf-languages digest
isn't Unicode-aware (unless this has changed recently), and would have
shown all the non-ASCII characters as ?. The proper UTF-8 versions will
be submitted to IANA, which is required to handle them.
I realize this is an ugly compromise for the list. The entity references
are decodable, but only with pain. Let me know if you want these
resubmitted to the list with annotations:
Description: 'Ôrôê ['Ôrôê]
or
Description: 'Ôrôê ['Ôrôê]
or in some other way.
