Is there a reason I should be using quot; (or any other HTML entity)
within regular tags like p, hx, li, etc.?
I know I have to use them when they are to be displayed within a form

I don't know about quot; but if you use instead of amp; it will
break your xml pages (i.e. a href='some.com/page.php?a=bc=d' *must*
be a href='some.com/page.php?a=bamp;c=d' in xml)

I thought #147; and #147; were deprecated in HTML4. I use:
