Yes. I know this. I spent 30 minutes testing things. I have
previously spent a lot of time messing around with entities
in pages to see what IE does.
I know now exactly which entities do and don't work - I
know num isn't supported by IE, which is why I removed it
from V as a response to the bug. I know amp and lt work
with or without. I tested all this.
I explained EXACTLY why it is, and why it's implemented in
the way it is, and why there's not going to be any extra
work done on making the parser "better" - because it's as
good as it can be.
Why are you repeating to me exactly the information that
I posted in 3 earlier mails to this list?

I don't need to look into the f**king problem at all in any
more detail than I have, because I took the f**king bug
investigation as far into it as it NEEDS going into, and
fixed the bug accordingly.
Now, the bug reported is fixed because V now matches
that particular behavioural quirk of IE - that it does not
support the num entity at all.
Do you want me to UNFIX the f**king bug? Because it's
a matter of uncommenting the entity definition.. I can do
it if you insist, or if you insist that I made the wrong
decision - but you will be disappointed when I do, because
of when you do, respectively.
Thanks
