Why?
Are you certain that your management of encoding is accurate and
reliable enough to deliver these correctly in all cases?
Unless the encoding is something like EBCDIC (in which case all bets are
off), the treatment of the characters &, #, 8, 2, 1, 7, and ; will be
independent of the encoding. Which is actually the point in using numeric
codes to represent these characters.
I don't know what you mean by what you just said (perhaps because it is four
a.m. and I am tired). Won't those characters in that order be recognized as
a character entity and be rendered as a curly apostrophe? What about in meta
tags such as description? Do I dare replace the straight apostrophes in the
description with the character entity for a curly apostrophe?
