 Entered this:
 {{{
  <area shape="poly" coords="77,57,276" data-content="<a
 href=//google.com>link</a> some other content. Be careful with using the

 converted to this:
 {{{
 <area shape="poly" coords="77,57,276" data-content="<a
 href=//google.com>link</a> some other content. Be careful with using the
 right quotes here!” title=”Some title”></p>
 }}}



 Is it really so difficult to leave the content of the "Text" mode as it
 is?

 Just to remind you, that W3C says "attributes on HTML elements may have
 any string value".
