Sorry for being offtopic just to respond to such a relatively old comment, but in response to the
comment posted by richard@zend.com (near the top), MSIE appearantly *isn't* breaking the HTML
specification.
"In SGML, it is possible to eliminate the final ';' after a character reference in
some cases (e.g., at a line break or immediately before a tag). In other circumstances it may not be
eliminated (e.g., in the middle of a word). We strongly suggest using the ';' in all cases
to avoid problems with user agents that require this character to be present."

Therefore, it seems MSIE isn't technically doing anything wrong. It's probably a bad idea
to be omitting the semicolon anyway, though.
