+Summary: Server.HtmlDecode() fails with french accents
+
+Description of Problem:
+Server.HtmlDecode() has several problems (at least for Mono 1.1.8 with XSP
+on Windows XP Pro).
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. string accents = "\xe8\xe9\xea\xeb"; // = èéêë =
+èéêë
+2. string encoded = Server.HtmlEncode(accents); // give
+"èéêë" : ok
+3. string decoded = Server.HtmlDecode(encoded);
+
+Actual Results:
+Nothing to do with original string
+
+Expected Results:
+èéêë (ie accent)
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
+
+Additional Information:
+After some testing, I found it's ok for "hexa html encoded" strings :
+Server.HtmlDecode("èéêë") : decimal html encoding => ko
+Server.HtmlDecode("ééêë") : hexadecimal html encoding => ok
+
+There is another problem when encoded string contains html entities :
+Server.HtmlDecode("èéêë") gives 5 characters
+(there is a useless zero at the end).
+
+In this case, it's ok when I remove last comma :
+Server.HtmlDecode("èéê&euml") gives the "good" result
+for a "bad" input.
