           Summary: Character Entity References Should be Included based on
                    namespace rather than MIME Type
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XML
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: robburns1 at mac.com


Currently, when rendering an XHTML page, WebKit does not recognize character
entity references from the HTML namespace unless the MIME Type is
application/xhtml+xml (or obviously text/html). If the page is delivered as
application/xml, the named character entity references do not work. A better
behavior (and the one supported in FireFox), would be to resolve and render the
character entity referrences based on the namespace(s) of the document
fragment. In this way simply declararing the namespace on a document fragment
would enable charaqcter entity references from that namespace for that
fragment: at least for those namespaces WebKit had knowledge of.
