I've tried searching for a browser compatibility table for &apos;, but haven't
found any so far.  Anyway, XHTML has existed for almost a decade now, so I
suspect only very old browsers would be completely unaware of it.  The IE
behavior worries me more: one page I found, http://seewhatever.de/blog/?p=114 ,
says even IE 7 won't recognize &apos; in HTML mode, and seems to suggest that
it's the MIME type that makes the difference.

Anyway, why do we output named character entities at all?  We already have a
table of the Unicode code points corresponding to all of them, so it would be
trivial to make normalizeEntity() output numeric entities only.
