Yes, it's an issue worth bringing up. (Thanks.) No, it won't be instantly
responded to or acted upon. When you bring it up again could you
please, please, PLEASE use the established ISO 8879 standard entity
names (see ftp://ftp.ifi.uio.no/pub/SGML/ENTITIES/ISOnum). This will make
it sound like you know what you're talking about and might help keep
your point from being ignored or buried in complaints.

<!ENTITY lsquo CDATA "&#8216;" -- left single quote     -->
<!ENTITY rsquo CDATA "&#8217;" -- right single quote    -->
<!ENTITY ldquo CDATA "&#8220;" -- left double quote     -->
<!ENTITY rdquo CDATA "&#8221;" -- right double quote    -->

"German" quotes:

<!ENTITY lsquor CDATA "&#8218;" -- left single quote rising (low)    -->
<!ENTITY rsquor CDATA "&#8219;" -- right single quote rising (high)    -->
<!ENTITY ldquor CDATA "&#8222;" -- left double quote rising (low)    -->
<!ENTITY rdquor CDATA "&#8223;" -- right double quote rising (high)   -->
