Jim D, in XHTML 5 there are no entities but the default XML ones. Of course, if Webkit has the same behavior in XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 then it’s a bug, but in XHTML 5 it’s not.

Maybe you’re reading a different spec than I am, but the entity is clearly defined for XHTML – look at the spec.

And if the doctype is in fact XHTML strict, they work fine in webkit.

And if the doctype is HTML transitional, which you claim should work, then it fails in Webkit.

Sorry, this is a webkit bug, pure and simple.

“The only named entities for XML are &&, &> and &<.”

That’s wrong. There are five XML predefined entities:

&<, &", &&, &' and &>
