I will admit, I'm not wholly aware of html standards (I've only been doing serious web development for a few months) so it appears that I did not know this is an ambiguous case. That being said, recovering from an unterminated entity seems that it should be consistent. Currently, when it the unterminated string is not a valid entity, the ampersand initiated string is insert unmodified. However, when it is a valid entity, the valid portion is interpolated into the unicode character it represents.

Unless there's a strong argument against doing so, in keeping with consistency of invalid entities and in being consistent with Gecko and IE, it would seem advisable to be not interpolate these non-terminated entities.
