If you want some history, basically you can blame microsoft.
what kind of "history" is that? c'mon, let's go _back_. let's blame the serpent in the garden of eden who tempted eve to take a bite of the forbidden fruit... get real. and stop making excuses. now that marcello knows that the encoding declaration can't be trusted, he can _improve_ his converter script by actually doing some reality-checks on the text itself, to make sure it actually is the encoding it claims to be. and apostrophes would be an _excellent_ way to start... or better yet, run such a checker-program against the entire library, and ferret out the incorrect declarations, so the converter script _can_ know the encoding for sure. -bowerbird
