Make that KHtmlEntity, since they are HTML-specific (except for < and 
&, which come from XML).

There are still a few places where UTF-7 is used (like the pseudo-UTF-7 in 
IMAP4). But I think kdepim already has its own encoding functions and 
classes to deal with that.

So I'd go with the removal.
