/ "Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net> was heard to say:
| But why wouldn't you just use a numerical character reference for such glyphs?

Because they aren't in Unicode.

| Alt is expected to be processed into an alt attribute value, which could not

An attribute value is one possibility in one presentation context.
