Are you sure?
Sorry, just realised that I'm talking out of my derriere. I was half
remembering that, when sending application/xhtml+xml, *browser support*
for named entities can be flaky, and that some browsers then revert to
just understanding the basic 5 entities (oh, and also made a typo...it's
' and not &apo;). as XHTML 1.1 should be sent as
application/xhtml+xml, i got myself mixed up.
Apologies for the confusion...it's obviously time for me to get to bed ;)
