Non-strict HTML entities

[Mickael-van-der-Beek]

If you have an HTML entity in the text-content like this:

<a>&#x61;</a>

then:

window.document.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].textContent === "a"

will evaluate as true because a is the HTML entity for the character a.

Now if you use a non-strict HTML entity and by "non-strict" I mean HTML entities that are not semi-colon ; terminated, it won't get decoded to it's UTF-8 counter-part. e.g:

&#x61 should be decoded to the character a too

Most modern browser don't require semi-colon termination for HTML entities so I wanted to ask if this was a bug or just an intended behaviour.

This should be fixed with this PR with the switch to parse5. Try it with that.
