Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Just a note about the `'` encoding.  I tested `ENT_XHTML` flag which
 is not well documented, and found that it gives different output when
 `ENT_QUOTES` is also set.  It converts each `'` into `'` which is not
 necessarily more desirable than converting `'` into `'`.
 But it is something we can use later if needed.
