I have thought further. The problem of the name KHtmlEntity is that it could 
suggest that the file and the class belong KHTML and not to kdecore.

As for moving that class into khtml, KHTML would need to be the only user. (I 
do not know if it is.) Also if some code uses KHTML, it probably do not need 
to handle the entities directly. On contrary code handling the entities 
directly, is probably not using KHTML as it does not suit.
(Remains also the problem that moving the class to khtml would probably need 
some coordination with Apple, so that it would be something out of my (time) 
reach.)

Have a nice day!
