Leaving the input unchanged does seem to be what browsers do.  (Issue 7626 has some info on browser behaviour with invalid entity refs.)

Rather than pre-validating the input, I think the exception can be caught and the putative entity returned unchanged, similar to how a keyerror is handled for a named entity.

Would you have any interest in proposing a patch and tests?
