I don't understand why this functionality should be implemented as anything
but an encoding error handler. It can still be implemented in the html
package which would either register it itself or export a handler that
applications would need to register by calling codecs.register_error().  A
more user-friendly solution would be to pre-register a light-weight handler
that would not import html.entities and possible most of its own
implementation until the first use.
