Description
HTMLStripCharFilter knows some specific things about HTML4 (like named character entities, which are converted to the corresponding characters), but not about HTML5.
HTML5 has way more named character entities: 2,231 vs 259 by my count.
There's probably other stuff to do, e.g. there are new tags.
