Problem Description:
Function decodeForHtml() doesn't consider case of HTML entities, always resulting in the lower case variant.

Steps to Reproduce:
	<cfset upperUmlautA = decodeForHtml("&Auml;")> <!--- expected Ä, got ä --->
	<cfset lowerUmlautA = decodeForHtml("&auml;")> <!--- expected ä, got ä --->

Actual Result:
Lower case "ä" in both cases.

Expected Result:
&Auml; = Ä
&auml; = ä

Note: Affects all entities that have upper and lower case presentations. Probably related to a bug in the ESAPI library itself.
