[go-nuts] Why does html.UnescapeString not look for the trailing semicolon when finding HTML entities?

[Akash]

html.UnescapeString("Should this word, &currency, be unescaped?")  

https://play.golang.org/p/vN5bvfooq8H

Aren't HTML entities supposed to end with a semicolon? See 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Entity

I couldn't see any edge cases mentioned in the source 
<https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/html/escape.go#L182> .

Thanks.
