But presumably since this is a UTF-8 text file you can also just type
Greek characters in, this Latin capital A is Unicode U+0041 but I just
press the key labelled A. So anyone who already has a way to type Greek
characters can just use that, rather than having to learn a system of
XML entities and get the exact same output from DocBook ?
