In this case, we shouldn't use html_entity_decode() at all.  We want to
decode only HTML_SPECIALCHARS, not HTML_ENTITIES. If we decode
HTML_ENTITIES, we can get into charset problems when decoding characters
beyond the ASCII range.  We just need a wp_specialchars_decode() fxn
instead.

For now I think we can still support 4.1 and above.  I'd rather not bump
requirements until we absolutely must.
