    HTML entities fail validation without a trailing ";"
    ----------------------------------------------------

                     Key: WOL-1138
                     URL: http://issues.objectstyle.org/jira/browse/WOL-1138
                 Project: WOProject/WOLips
              Issue Type: Bug
              Components: WOLips General
        Affects Versions: WOLips Nightly
                Reporter: Sacha Michel Mallais
                Priority: Minor

    This construct fails validation in the builder:
    <wo:str valueWhenEmpty = "&nbsp" value = "foo" />

    This validates correctly:
    <wo:str valueWhenEmpty = "&nbsp;" value = "foo" />

    From the HTML 4.01 spec:
    Note. In SGML, it is possible to eliminate the final ";" after a character reference in some cases (e.g., at a line break or immediately before a tag). In other circumstances it may not be eliminated (e.g., in the middle of a word). We strongly suggest using the ";" in all cases to avoid problems with user agents that require this character to be present.
