Yes. The old definition was in 4.01, back in 1999. And here's the problem --
HTML5 still hasn't been ratified, and the documents all say "draft". 

I wrote these next two lines:
"So, I'm not sure that we can use these entity values yet. Are we certain that
they're not going to change them before HTML5 becomes official?"

and then I read this:
http://blog.whatwg.org/html-is-the-new-html5
indicating that html5 will never happen, and the draft documents are as
"standard" as it's ever going to get. That's a spectacular failure.

So I guess there's no reason to hold off on the patch.
