Description:
------------
When use HTML 5 widt <!DOCTYPE html>
we must encode only widt &#xx;
It is not supported entity like: &amp;&quot; etc

When mime type is application/xhtml+xml and <!DOCTYPE html>
browser halt xml parsing on &amp;&quot; etc

http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php
http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?=htmlspecialchars('&')?>

Expected result:
----------------
'&' (ampersand) becomes '&#38;' 
'"' (double quote) becomes '&#34;'
''' (single quote) becomes '&#39;' 
'<' (less than) becomes '&#60;' 
'>' (greater than) becomes '&#62;'

Actual result:
--------------
'&' (ampersand) becomes '&amp;' 
'"' (double quote) becomes '&quot;' 
''' (single quote) becomes '&#039;' 
'<' (less than) becomes '&lt;' 
'>' (greater than) becomes '&gt;'
