I don't have to do a wget.  I tried it on one of my own pages.  I keep a
complete copy of my Web site on the hard drive of my PC.

I see this problem when I want to copy some markup from an existing Web
page into another page.  This is easily done by marking the content in a
rendered page and then viewing the source (right-click, View Selection
Source on the pull-down context menu).  The marked content is then
marked in the source, so all I have to do is copy and paste.

I do not see this problem when I go to the SeaMonkey menu bar and select
[View > Page Source].  Then it seems that all entity references remain
untranslated.
