 Gentlemen, let us today to attempt to get a totally ASCII Blog Title
 on wp-admin/options-general.php.

 We enter "Bob's blog". The apostrophe ends up as entity 8217.

 We enter "Bob's blog" and indeed that ugliness stays in the links
 created.

 Nope. No way to generate a simple

 <h1><a href="http://...">Annette B. Jacobson's articles</a></h1>
 All ASCII.

 Same with dashes, etc.

 Ah finally a workaround: use a colon:

 Annette B. Jacobson: articles

 But now that I've revealed it works, I bet y'all will corrupt it too,
 next edition.
