I am receiving data from a web service, and some of the strings have html entities in them, for example:

{"prop": "htmlentity - é"}

The é is not being parsed to é.

My question is twofold:
1. Is this even supposed to happen? I looked through the JSON spec the best I could, but couldn't find any reference to html entities.
2. What is the right way to do this with a DataContractJsonSerializer, if there is a right way?
