I don't know what would decode it nicely. Possibly the XML parser, at least for some of the characters, because that seems to be how it generates things into the raw source code if they contain those characters. And something that rendered HTML (TwoFlower, WithStyle, etc) might be a possibility.
The Web Toolkit encodes such things, although it doesn't use the nice human-readable forms, just generates &1234; with the unicode code point of the character in question, if it doesn't fit in the encoding specified for the page. That's done in EscapingStreamErrorPolicy in Wave-Server-Base.
