XMLEventReader does not handle ' properly

[scabug]

Of the five required predefined entities in XML, XMLEventReader does not handle ', returning an EvComment of " unknown entity apos; " instead of an EvEntityRef.

This test program:

import scala.xml.pull._
import scala.io.Source
object reader {
  val src = Source.fromString("<test>&amp;&lt;&gt;&apos;&quot;</test>")
  val er = new XMLEventReader(src)
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    while (er.hasNext)
      Console.println(er.next)
  }
}

outputs:

EvElemStart(null,test,,)
EvEntityRef(amp)
EvEntityRef(lt)
EvEntityRef(gt)
EvComment( unknown entity apos; )
EvEntityRef(quot)
EvElemEnd(null,test)

Also, apos does not appear in XhtmlEntities.scala (may be unrelated).

Since these five entities are predefined, I would argue that the parser should auto-replace them with their equivalents so the user doesn't have to.

The scala-xml library is now community-maintained. Issues with it are now tracked at https://github.com/scala/scala-xml/issues instead of here in the Scala JIRA.

Interested community members: if you consider this issue significant, feel free to open a new issue for it on GitHub, with links in both directions.
