html serializer outputs entity codes that NS4 doesn't understand

           Summary: html serializer outputs entity codes that NS4 doesn't
                    understand
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xalan.serialize
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Some special characters that are replaced by their entity name when serializing 
HTML are not recognized by Netscape. For example, the character "8217" is 
replaced by "&rsquo;" which Netscape 4 doesn't understand. This can be fixed by 
outputing "&#8217;" instead.

I have modified the org/apache/xalan/serialize/HTMLEntities.res to comment out 
all the characters I encountered which don't work with NS4.
