Subject: Expand entities in follow*()
The parameter behind follow() should have its entities expanded. That is, if I have a link <a href="...">L&ouml;schen</a> on a html page, then the corresponding call should be follow("Löschen") (hopefully you're able to see the o-umlaut).

I have added new tests to the test suite to confirm this not an issue with 1.04. This bug should be closed now, and only re-opened if there is a counter-test to illustrate an example where this still fails.
