subject entities in XML and the .text method

PS -- this bug was difficult to enter into the bugtracker, which is treating input as XML (X-HTML I guess)...

yeah, problem was the method EntityRef::text which always returned the empty string. In general, we can't resolve entities, but at least for the xml predefined entities it does the right thing.
