Use of entities in ubuntu/release-notes

The recent slide of Dapper to Ubuntu 6.06 has underlined the importance
of using entities for these things in the documentation. Grepping around
in our repo shows that sadly this practice has not been uniformly
followed, and that some cleaning up will now be necessary.
I've dealt with the Ubuntu Desktop Guide and About Ubuntu, which
fortunately were rather easy because they use entities. I've done the
browser start page too.
However, things like the release-notes need some careful attention to be
converted to use entities for release dates and version numbers. Please
add the file ubuntu/libs/gnome.ent as an entity and make use of it where
possible (see the desktop guide for an example).
Also, there seem to be three versions of the release notes in there
(release-notes.xml, dapper-release-notes.xml and
breezy-release-notes.xml) which needs to be cleared up.
I haven't looked at any kubuntu or generic docs yet.
