Sorry, this is not so. HTML 4.01 is quite explicit that:
The syntax "&#D;", where D is a decimal number, refers to the
ISO 10646 decimal character number D.
[http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#entities]
Please note that the "document character set" in HTML 4.01 is ISO 10646
(defined in section 5.1 of the above document). This is distinct from
each individual document's character encoding (which, to confuse
matters, is specified using the word "charset" in the Content-Type
header).
