Subject: bug in SGML parser

The sgml parser
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/htmltools-1.10/lib/html/sgml-parser.rb
does not correctly handle character references.  Yahoo sometimes
generates a character reference that looks like "'".  Firefox
displays this as a single quote.  sgml-parser.rb raises an exception.

rescued: invalid value for Integer: "039" at Wed Dec 06 18:02:56 PST

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/htmltools-1.10/lib/html/sgml-parser.rb:335:in
`Integer'/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/htmltools-1.10/lib/html/sgml-parser.rb:335:in

Possible fix:  In handle_charref, strip leading zeroes from 'name'
prior to calling 'Integer'.
