That is precisely the reason.

If you edit OmniWeb.app/entities.dictionary and remove all of the  
entities not recognized by Netscape, you should get precisely Netscape's  
behavior.

If I had realized how big a problem this was going to turn out to be, I  
would have added a switch to disable those entities which Netscape  
doesn't recognize.
