Maybe I was wrong. I only tested it on a win2k machine.

"™" is displayed like superscripted "TM" on IE 5.5, Netscape 4.75 and
Netscape 6. I assumed that was the trade mark symbol.

This is the script I used to see how character entities are displayed in a
HTML page:

<script language="javascript">
for (var i=0; i < 255; i++)
{
  document.write (i +":" + "&#" + i + ";<BR>");
}
</script>

and check against &trade;

You're wrong.

&#153; is allowed in XML, yes, if you copy the character it represents
into a new document via an XSLT transformation, you might get &#153;
in your output XML or HTML.

But &#153; does not represent a trademark symbol; it represents a non-
printing control character.

If you think it represents a trademark symbol, your perception of
reality has probably been infected by the misbehavior of Netscape on
Windows platforms with the Windows-1252 character map in effect.
