♦ character entity does not work under Mozilla, as tested on several Macs
running Mac OS X 10.4.2.  An XHTML DTD was specified in the document. Of note:
It works under Apple's Safari web browser.  Using the example markup below, the
diamond appeared in the title, but did not appear in the body of the page.

Quick example:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head><title>&diams;</title></head>
<body><p>&diams;</p></body>
</html>

See the following for relevant information:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use &diams; appropriately in a document on a Mac running Mozilla
2. View that document in Mozilla
Actual Results:  
The diamond was displayed in the title but not the body.

Expected Results:  
Display the diamon in the body, as well.
