Exactly. One can read this up in the XML spec.

But still its interesting to ask what should happen with unknown 
entities if this method is called? It should probably raise an

Just keeping them unexpanded in the content isn't very helpful.

And why would HTML escaping rules matter for *XML* unescaping? You need 
to implement/use an -stringByUnescapingHTML to do that ...
