As far as I can tell from the documentation, the semicolon is required as part of the syntax for entity reference. So a non-breaking space must be not  . However, it looks like Safari is the only browser that DOESN’T render entities without a semicolon. Does anyone know why? Both Safari and Chrome use webkit, yet Chrome renders regardless of the semicolon.
