Summary: sgmllib.SGMLParser does not unescape attribute values; patch

Initial Comment:
for example, in a form parsed by htmllib.HTMLParser (based on 
SGMLParser),

<option value="5&quot; big"> 5&quot; big

the value will not be unescaped to 5" while the printed
option will be.

Note that this behavior differs from that of 
HTMLParser.HTMLParser, which does a fine job.

See attached test script/test input for an example.

See attached patch for a fix: essentially I copied the code directly 
from HTMLParser.HTMLParser.

I don't think this patch should break anything; I can't imagine 
people were relying on this behavior!

There's no uploaded file!  You have to check the
checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File"
when you upload a file. In addition, even if you
*did* check this checkbox, a bug in SourceForge
prevents attaching a file when *creating* an issue.

Please try again.

(This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do
nothing about. :-( )
