controlling character entity transformations in Jade

I'm transforming SGML from one DTD to another with Jade.  I was
pleased to see Jade putting in literal equivalents for things like
&eacute; and so on, but it seems to be transforming some things to
Unicode, eg `&thinsp;' is transformed to `&8201;'.
  The thing (one of many things, in fact) that's confusing me is
I'm including the (unedited) ISOpub entities in the output DTD, so I
thought that `&thinsp;' would be mapped to `[thinsp]':

<!ENTITY thinsp SDATA "[thinsp]"--=thin space (1/6-em)-->

  How can I tell Jade not to do this?  After a bit of delving about in
AltaVista I came up with this command line, but it's still doing the
aforementioned mapping to a Unicode character entity:

SP_ENCODING=is8859-1 jade -d blacksci.dsl -t sgml sgml/Cei00401.sgm
