DOM bogusly ending up with adjacent text nodes given a character reference

[gsnedders]

import html5lib
string = u"<p>name&thinsp;: value</p>"
dom = html5lib.parse(string, treebuilder="dom")
print len(dom.getElementsByTagName("p")[0].childNodes)

This gives three, split around the \u2009. Per spec, we should have one child text node, I'm pretty sure. This only shows up here because etree/lxml can't have adjacent text nodes in their data model.

As an update, this still occurs with master tip:

$ python
Python 2.7.13 (default, Jan 19 2017, 14:48:08)

>>> import html5lib
>>> s = u'<p>name&thinsp;: value</p>'
>>> dom = html5lib.parse(s, treebuilder='dom')
>>> print(len(dom.getElementsByTagName('p')[0].childNodes))
3
>>> 

However, I'm going to bump it out of the 1.0 milestone because as far as I can tell, there's no progress on fixing this.
