On a farily regular basis, I need to convert strings like this:
<b>foo & bar</b>
to this:
<b>foo & bar</b>
I have an ad-hoc dictionary for doing such translations. However emacs
seems to be shipped with at least 2. One located in etc/nxml/ and another
in lisp/leim/quail/sgml-input.el. Does anyone know through which APIs can
these dictionaries be accessed?

IIRC there's iso-sgml2iso (which uses yet another such dictionary).

Thanks. It's not as complete, but still useful.

Is there a reason not to unify all of them? The HTML character codes
are not a quick-moving lot.

Lack of manpower?

I'll put it on my TODO list for a rainy weekend.
