I thought “ and “ were deprecated in HTML4. I use:

‘ = left single quote
’ = right single quote (apostrophe)

“ = left double quote
” = right double quote

etc. See http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm

Doesn't this go against the "semantics" of XHTML? Use of entities in documents prevents the XHTML from being human-readable (of sorts... I'm not going to memorise the ASCII, Unicode, or UTF character tables)


...As well as adding to the document overhead?

I mean, provided you send the document from the server as unicode, why must we resort to entities for non-reserved characters? (ie: <>&")
