In what way is it HTML-specific? Isn't it only XML-specific? If it 
recognizes/uses HTML-specific entities such as nbsp, I think it's 
HTML-specific.

"entity" is also a very broad name(e.g, not XML/HTML specific), and in either 
case there are other types of entities than characters(that this class does 
not handle). The class neither is or represent an entity/character reference.

I would call it something involving "character reference" since that's what it 
do. Something like KCharacterReferenceHelper, but not so long..
