Ok, good. As I said, I haven't looked at this for a long time and even then didn't ever go very deep.

Well, since HTML builds on SGML it's not clearly stated in the HTML specification,
HTML 2.0 _does_ cleary state that ' is valid. RFC 1866, section 3.2.4.
Take the Euro character as an example. "\x20AC" is what I'd use today, but that wouldn't work. True wide-string doesn't work well with tools such as mail, cvs, diff etc so that's not an option either. UTF-8 escaping is even less of an option due to more non-printing characters.
Just encode the source code as iso-8859-15. Works fine with tools such as mail, cvs, diff etc.
