Can someone try out this patch and run the regressions on it (HTMLtests 
in particular)?:
http://www.ctindustries.net/patches/meta.diff.txt

For some reason I am seeing some failing HTML tests (4 exactly but one 
is that I havent change the python.html test)
I dont believe I was seeing any failures last week and not sure what may 
have changed

Also not sure how many of the libxslt tests are supposed to fail. The 
failures I am seeing there seem to be related to the same reason the 
ones in libxml are failing. My changes should not be causing this, and 
the results are fine under windows, just not my linux build.

For example (under linux):
fp40.htm result
13c13 < <font size="2"><i>&copy; Copyright Microsoft Corporation, 
1999&nbsp;</i></font> --- > <font size="2"><i>© Copyright Microsoft 
Corporation, 1999Â </i></font> 24c24 < <h2>Contents&nbsp;</h2> --- > 
<h2>Contents </h2> 27c27 < <p>&nbsp;</p> --- > <p> </p> 51c51 < 
ResourceConfig /dev/null&nbsp;<br> --- > ResourceConfig /dev/null <br> 
152c152 < <p>&nbsp;</p> --- > <p>Â </p>

But under windows the entity refs are printed fine and test passes.

The patch has a few things:
- adds the new meta handling to HTML serialization
- updates HTML tests (not sure how to change the python test in HTML as 
file says it is auto created)
- adds format handling for the meta element in xmlsave.c
