They are already, that's my point.

Is it possible to reuse some parts from Norman Walsh' XSL stylesheets or
the resulting code base is completly different, and it was only taken as an
inspiration to this project?
I'm just asking, since XSL isn't yet one language I fully understand...

Not only that, but they are distributed apart. Those entities files are
the ISO ones, aren't they?
I should also look to the configuration schemes used by sgmltools and
db2xxx, since they use the entities that are usually packaged in a different
way.
I think I should go this road: if the user has installed sgmltools or
db2xxx then lyx should find the correct configuration. If not, then it means
it is capable to fiddle with the configuration...

IIRC both Amaya and the later Mozilla are able to display MathML.
