Details

If an HTML document contains (or is, with no markup):

This is a &dag;ger entity.

Both the display *and* view-source show:

This is a &dagger entity.

The view-source is the more serious problem, but you may want to do the parsing
differently - or something.  I'm not sure.

The parser recognized that the entity was bogus and converted it text. The
problem was that it forgot to append the semicolon.
