I emailed Dave privately by mistake.  For the record, I wrote:

One thing which HTMLPrag handles is HTML entity representation and 
generation, which Dave mentioned: a list of the form (& entity) in the 
SXML will be converted to the corresponding HTML entity.  Since HTMLPrag 
is geared towards permissive parsing of HTML, I assume it handles 
parsing of HTML containing entities, too, if that's needed.
