Unfortunately, I do not understand the Emacs or Vi syntax, so I do not know
exactly what you need.

Emacs emulation only emulates the look-and-feel (keybindings + some settings),
it doesnot include parsing lisp...

To replace existing characters, rename and adapt the example below to 
your chars and put into .jedrc (or jed.rc on windows).

public define latin12html()
{  variable old_case_search = CASE_SEARCH;
   CASE_SEARCH = 1;
   push_spot();
   % if(is_visible_mark) narrow;
   bob;
   replace("ö","ö");   replace("Ö","Ö");
   CASE_SEARCH =  old_case_search;
   % widen;
   pop_spot();
}

To have custom keybindings, you can do something like

% bind Umlauts to often used Chars
public define htmlentity_keys()
{
   local_setkey(" ö", "ö");
   local_setkey(" Ö", "Ö");
   % ...
}

And to activate it define a hook that gets called automatically when a
buffer is set to html_mode. (Change this to sgml_mode_hook, or whatever
mode you use for editing the sgml files.)

define html_mode_hook() 
{
   latin12html();
   htmlentity_keys();
}
