The article is nearly four years old, and I think that the browsers it is
referring to were old then. (It doesn't name them, so one can't verify the
information.)

Sure, if you need to work with ancient and buggy browsers, use <xsl:output
encoding="iso-646"/>. Just don't try to generate the numeric references
yourself by hand. (And don't expect ancient and buggy browsers to get it
right even then.)
