As far as I can tell, libxml2 doesn't take a list of entities as an
input when parsing HTML? I may have missed something...
Hm, a bit of googling shows http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-entities.html
and there is apparently a way to tell libxml2 about further entities?
But I think this all sounds more like a libxml2 than an Emacs bug,
really?
