Summary: ns_parse creates extra nested folders

Initial Comment:
ns_parse creates undesired additional nested folders
when a folder title contains & (or any other
character or entity reference).  The problem is that
characters() does not take into account that the
character data may arrive in several chunks, and
creates a new folder for each chunk.

This problem is best seen using the sgmllib driver,
becasue the current sgmlop driver (the usual default)
does not report the  entity references, although it
does create multiple chunks when they occur.

Here is a short NS bookmarks file on which ns_parse
demonstrates the problem.  You will see that a folder
that should be titled "B&B" becomes three nested
folders, titled "B", "&", and "B" -
