Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] cpython: Add a few entries to whatsnew/3.3.rst.
Ezio Melotti, 26.09.2012 18:30: The problem is that the standard allows some charref to end without a ';', but not all of them. So both Eacuteric and Eacute;ric will be parsed as Éric, but only alpha;centauri will result in αcentauri -- alphacentauri will be returned unchanged. To preserve this I included them both, in the same way they are listed at http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/named-character-references.html. Interesting. Seems to be missing on dailywtf, though. Maybe just an oversight.

Yes, to quote http://bugs.python.org/issue3#msg163706: The problem is that the standard allows some charref to end without a ';', but not all of them.
