numeric character reference being unescaped (Maybe in TidyParser?)
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-4560
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4560
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
         Environment: Windows XP, Sun Java 1.6, Tomcat 6, MyFaces 1.2.3, Tomahawk 1.1.6
            Reporter: David Waters

Numeric character reference are being resolved and the character they represent is being sent to the client instead of Numeric Character reference.
With the parser turned off for regular requests, the following code works correctly on the first render but fails on the ajax update
[web.xml]

    <filter> 
        <display-name>RichFaces Filter</display-name> 
        <filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>

        <!--  Only filter on ajax request not every request  http://javablog.be/java/fix-your-richfaces-ajax-performance-problems/-->

			<param-value>false</param-value>
