Meta - Escaped quote should be OK - HTML4 strict (email)

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN' '
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd'>
<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <meta name='description' content='&#039;'>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div></div>
    </body>
</html>


.... is OK


But :


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN' '
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd'>
<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <meta name='description' content='\''>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div></div>
    </body>
</html>


.... Fails

The only difference is the &#039; transformed into \'

Escaped quotes should be considered as valid.
