Maybe I was wrong. I only tested it on a win2k machine.
"™" is displayed like superscripted "TM" on IE 5.5, Netscape 4.75 and
Netscape 6. I assumed that was the trade mark symbol.
This is the script I used to see how character entities are displayed in a
HTML page:
<script language="javascript">
for (var i=0; i < 255; i++)
{
document.write (i +":" + "&#" + i + ";<BR>");
}
</script>
and check against ™

You're wrong.
™ is allowed in XML, yes, if you copy the character it represents
into a new document via an XSLT transformation, you might get ™
in your output XML or HTML.
But ™ does not represent a trademark symbol; it represents a non-
printing control character.
If you think it represents a trademark symbol, your perception of
reality has probably been infected by the misbehavior of Netscape on
Windows platforms with the Windows-1252 character map in effect.
