This table grew out of an ISO Latin-1 Character Set overview related to the Hyper-G Text Format (HTF). The entity names &brkbar; and &Dstrok; seem to be unique to HTF.

The standards stuff: The HTML 2.0 Standard includes a section on Character Entity Sets and an overview on the HTML Coded Character Set (The entity names are derived from ISO 8879).
Or have a look at the Latin-1 Character Entities as listed in an draft for the HTML 3.0 specification.
The Appendix II of CERN's HTML+ Discussion Document contains a table (in PostScript format) of the proposed character entities for HTML+ and their corresponding character codes for Unicode and the Adobe Latin-1 & Symbol character sets.

Please note that there is nothing wrong with using characters of ISO Latin-1 above 127: HTTP/1.0 uses the 8bit ISO latin-1 as default encoding. (Thanks to Roman Czyborra for pointing this out!)
