R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Leaving the input unchanged does seem to be what browsers do. (Issue 7626 has some info on browser behaviour with invalid entity refs.)
Rather than pre-validating the input, I think the exception can be caught and the putative entity returned unchanged, similar to how a keyerror is handled for a named entity. Would you have any interest in proposing a patch and tests? ---------- nosy: +orsenthil, r.david.murray stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10759> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
