If the option "Save characters outside encoding as
entity references" is checked, then when I use the
insertCharByName dialog to insert the entity "“"
into a DocBook file, the entity "&rdquor" gets written
to the file instead instead. Also, using the
insertCharByName dialog to insert the entity "‘"
into a DocBook file causes the entity "&rsquor" to
written to the file instead instead. This problem
seems to result because in DocBook 4.2, “ and
” refer to the same Unicode character U+201C,
while ‘ and ’ refer to the same Unicode
character U+2018.

To further complicate matters, it looks like “
and ” were never meant to be equivalent; it's a
DocBook bug. In DocBook 4.3, it will ” and
” that will be equivalent, with ”
referring to character U+201D. It's a similar story
with ‘ and ’, with &rsquor referring to
U+2019.
