Description:
------------
Under 5.2.6 and earlier version, the xml parser would correctly read in
html entities (such as &lt;) in the XML. In 5.2.8, these entities are
being ignored

Reproduce code:
---------------
You can see the source for a simple test program here:
http://outofthebloo.com/test/xmlparsertest.php.txt

Expected result:
----------------
Do a View Source on the result of the xmlparsertest.php program, and
you should see this (see the portion toward the bottom near "This should
be bold")

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [name] => OVERLAYS
            [attrs] => Array

                )

        )

--------------
Here's the actual result. NOTE that the "<" and ">" tag characters are
missing near the "This should be bold" text:
