XHTML never requires that you use `&ldquo;` or `&rdquo;` since the 
characters they represent have no special meaning in XHTML.

If `"` ever needs replacing, it will be with `&quot;`. It isn’t 
possible to say if you are correct about the validator being in error 
because you didn’t provide a [test case][1].
