I found a version, at <URL: ftp://ftp.ifi.uio.no/pub/SGML/ENTITIES>.

But the file ISOlat2 there isn't exactly helpful, it has only lines 
of the form

<!ENTITY aogon  SDATA "[aogon ]"--=small a, ogonek-->
<!ENTITY Aogon  SDATA "[Aogon ]"--=capital A, ogonek-->
etc.

Ok, so now I know that &aogon; is defined in terms of [aogon ].  Duh.

Maybe it's better anyway to wait till more browsers support these
additional entities.
