That'd be a nice feature, to "re-reference" entities on output. Does anyone 
know any processors that support this?

I'd particularly like to get named entities back, e.g. my "é" and 
" " etc. Currently I do the pre-/post-processing thing, but I'd be 
happy if the output handler could relieve me of the chore. In my case, 
ensuring consistency of the referencing in the output would be a happy 
side-effect.

Cheers,
Wendell
