There is no general requirement to use entities in place of single or double
quotes in any version of HTML or X(HT)ML.

However, if one has text containing quotes in _attribute values_, it needs to be
taken care of that they don't end the attribute value prematurely.  This can be
accomplished by using entities in the value or by choosing a " or ' around the
value that does not "conflict" with the literal quotes in the value.

BTW, you misspelled "Eighty" in the example ;)
