[wp-testers] Smart Quotes and Commenting

[Rick Beckman]

I just noticed in one of my recent comments that if someone posts
"smart quotes" in a comment (for example, by quoting text that
Wordpress has formatted in a post), the quotes are saved as their
actual characters, rather than being converted into entity form. I
remember reading several months ago elsewhere that this could possibly
break certain feed readers?

I'm not sure if it would make it into 2.0, but has any thought ever
been given to automatically saving certain characters as their
entities to preserve compatibility?
