All the html entities for symbol and greek letters are rendered with the
corresponding graphic even if the final ";" is missing (like "&lang" rendered
like "⟨") This may cause big problem with params in urls! (like: ..&lang=..) 

The bug is present also in Mozilla browser. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML page with the code oh the entities without the final ; (es.:
<html><body>&lang</body></html>)
2. Open it with FireFox/Mozilla

Actual Results:  
You see the symbol of left bracket angle instead of the string: "&lang" as expected

Expected Results:  
Display the string: "&lang"
