encoding/xml decoder with Strict=false does not handle unknown character entities properly

[Denis Defreyne]

Hi all,

I have found some odd behavior of the XML parser in Go. When setting Strict to false (so that it doesn’t error on unknown character entities), the trailing ';' character is not appended when it should be. For example, when parsing "Hello Bye", the actual data is "Hello&nbspBye". A test case can be found at https://gist.github.com/2255738.

I believe that in http://golang.org/src/pkg/encoding/xml/xml.go lines 880 and 912 should be followed by a d.buf.WriteByte(';'). Does this sound right?

Regards,

Denis
