The first thing to do is to stop everything being converted to HTML
entities.  Most of the SVG files with non-ASCII characters that I
fixed for this release were corrupted by HTML entities during the
release procedure, and therefore rejected again.

After some searching I think I've found what is doing this, it's
the following line in Metadata.pm:

    return encode_entities($text);

Changing this to

    return encode_entities($text, '<>&"\'');

should fix the problem.  But it would be better to remove HTML::Entities
altogether; I've attached a patch for this.  This patch isn't tested,
because I can't install XML::Twig.

The copy of SVG::Metadata that the server is using needs to be fixed,
and whoever prepares the next release should make sure that their copy
of SVG::Metadata is fixed.
