[Bug 934] New: XHTML 1.0 transitional pages validate even when one uses actual quotation marks around text instead of the character entity

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=934

           Summary: XHTML 1.0 transitional pages validate even when one uses
                    actual quotation marks around text instead of the
                    character entity
           Product: Validator

          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P3
         Component: Website
        AssignedTo: ot@w3.org
        ReportedBy: chess4ever@gmail.com

validator does not detect when one types " instead of " in an xhtml 1.0
transitional document. 

for example:
<p>
  "Eighy percent of success is showing up." - Woody Allen
</p>

the validator thinks this is okay and doesn't show anything as an error. Why? 

Wouldn't the correct code be...
<p>
  &quot;Eighy percent of success is showing up.&quot; - Woody Allen
</p>
