Proposed text for the "anything else" case's first three paragraphs of the 8.2.3.1 Tokenizing entities section: "Consume the maximum number of characters possible, with the consumed characters case-sensitively matching one of the identifiers in the first column of the entities[#entities0] table and either the next input character being a U+003B SEMICOLON (;) or the third column of the entities[#entities0] table indicating a recoverable missing semicolon for the matched entity name. If no match can be made, then this is a parse error. No characters are consumed, and nothing is returned. If the next input character is a U+003B SEMICOLON (;), consume it; otherwise, there is a parse error." -- Thomas Broyer
