First of all: Great project, you're taking an interesting approach.

Apparently, you have your own version of a bug I had with my entities module (I'm referring to https://github.com/fb55/node-entities/issues/8 ):

Decoding ''amp;' will first decode the hexadecimal escape, and afterwards the named entity.

Even worse, &amp; will also be decoded twice; you'll end up with &;.

Good catch!

Thanks for the great bug report! This is now fixed.
