    If you are determined to break the XML spec, then use…

    http://commons.apache.org/lang/api-2.6/org/apache/commons/lang/StringEscapeUtils.html

    The method “unescapeHtml” will do what you require.

    Unescapes a string containing entity escapes to a string containing
    the actual Unicode characters corresponding to the escapes. Supports
    HTML 4.0 entities.

    For example, the string "<Français>" will become
    "<Français>"

    If an entity is unrecognized, it is left alone, and inserted verbatim
    into the result string. e.g. "&gt;&zzzz;x" will become ">&zzzz;x".
