Another question along those lines: Does "question marks" refer specifically to the " character? Or does it also include the " entity? What about the right/left quotation marks, or their associated entities? I can understand us wanting to carry on the HTML 4 behavior, now that it looks like all major browsers will be supporting it, but we don't even know what it is supposed to be, with this vague definition...
