NULLs in entities in Firefox
Firefox accepted NULL bytes inside HTML5 named entities, so an entity can be written with a NULL before the ampersand or before the semicolon and still resolve. That yields malformed-looking spellings of an entity-encoded colon in a javascript URL, which work in an anchor href, apparently requiring the HTML5 doctype, and which filters matching the ordinary entity will miss.
