Actually, I suspect that the usual result will be that the user never knows 
what character is in the document, gets confused by AbiWord's buggy smart 
quote behaviour, and eventually gives up in disgust.

Most users will not know what Abi is doing, because they will just use the 
program, not read the documentation. Saving something other than what is 
displayed on screen (at least in English -- it may be different for Arabic 
and Hebrew) strikes me as a really bad idea.
