HTMLBuilder is trying to produce a proper DOM tree, and therefore the
right thing to do is to create EntityReference nodes.  Unfortunately,
neither the HTMLBuilder class, nor the Builder class from which
HTMLBuilder derives, provides a method to do that.  This is an
omission in the Builder classes.  

	The solution is, therefore, to add a handle_entityref() method
to HTMLBuilder's parsing, and an entityReference() method to the
Builder class.  I'll work on this tonight, and try to get the changes
checked in before tomorrow.
