Summary: Display of HTML entities in title and headline

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I'm using 1.5.1 and came across the following. (It's not really a bug, just an inconvenience.)  ;-)

I created an entry with a title containing some characters not in ISO-8859-1, what is what my blog runs in. These entered the database as html entities, and when I go to my blogs main page and look at the entry list I can see that these are being displayed as they should be.

But when I click on the entry, the headline and the html title tag are filled with &#xxxx; - the already escaped title from the database is sent through htmlspecialchars() and what comes out looks something like &#xxxx;.

So I took a look at the code and replaced line 305 of the index.php with:
$serendipity['head_title']    = str_replace('&#', '&#', htmlspecialchars($title[0]));

Seems to work but it's probably pretty ugly and can be done in a more elegant way... ;-) And there are probably some side effects I didn't think of because I'm not familiar with the code.

Cheers,

jb
