[Bug 1592628] Re: html entities are incorrectly preprocessed

[Kees Cook]

Nevermind, it's not html5lib, it's libpython3.5-stdlib, and the issue is
the new undocumented "convert_charrefs" argument to _init__.

** Package changed: html5lib (Ubuntu) => python3.5 (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- html entities are incorrectly preprocessed
+ HTMLParser html entities preprocessing is undocumented

Title:
  HTMLParser html entities preprocessing is undocumented

Status in python3.5 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The attached script does not emit HTML entities on Xenial, but works
  correctly on Trusty. I don't see any difference in the html2lib
  package, so I assume something must have changed in Python 3.

  Trusty (correct):

  $ ./test.py
  Start tag: body
  Named ent: uuml
  End tag  : body

  Xenial (incorrect):

  $ ./test.py 
  Start tag: body
  Data     : ü
  End tag  : body
