Summary: HTMLParser should support entities in attributes

Initial Comment:
HTMLParser doesn't currently support entities in attributes, 
like this:

<span title="&8221; is a nice character">foo</span>

This patch fixes that. Simply replace the unescape in 
HTMLParser.py with:


import htmlentitydefs

def unescape(self, s):

	def replaceEntities(s):
		s = s.groups()[0]
		if s[0] == "#":
			s = s[1:]
			if s[0] in [&#039;x&#039;,&#039;X&#039;]:
				c = int(s[1:], 16)
			else:
				c = int(s)
			return unichr(c)
			
		else:
			return 
unichr(htmlentitydefs.name2codepoint[c])
			
	return re.sub(r"&(#?[xX]?(?:[0-9a-fA-F]+|\w{1,8}));", 
replaceEntities, s)
