Please stop your cracks !
The following page fails with the error "Entity 'times' not defined" on Google
chrome when served as application/xhtml+xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-us">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>Hello World &times;</body>
</html>

People need to use the standard "HTML5 doctype declaration" AND
"application/xhtml+xml". Because of this buggy specification, html5 entities do
not work anymore.

This is not serious ! The HTML5 specification need to be consistent ! You must
choose between the only two possible positions:
- Either the "standard HTML5 doctype declaration" implies the loading of "html5
entities"
- Either you declare that the "standard HTML5 doctype declaration" should be
different when using xhtml !
