Misquotes on APL Quote

To the Editor,

I find it confusing that most of the W3C documentation on character entity references incorrectly associates the phrase "APL Quote" with the (double) quotation mark.

APL Quote is the single vertical apostrophe (') used in most computer languages (and is not inclined to the left or the right) and has the unicode value 0027 = '.

However, most occurrences on the W3C web site incorrectly describe APL Quote as the (double) vertical quotation mark (") which has the unicode value 0022 = ".

Correct:

	http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/NOTE-DOM-Level-3-Events-20031107/keyset.html

Incorrect:
	http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/xhtml1doc/xhtml1-special.html and http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Test/HTML401/current/tests/5_3_1-BF-01.html

Please correct these mistaken entries.
