default for using ' in OutputOptions?

Hi everyone,

XMLC-2.2 is close to ready.  I wanted to check on one thing, though.  In 
OutputOptions, the javadoc for getUseAposEntity() said that the default was 
false.  However, the field actually defaulted to true.  I changed it to 
false, but I wonder if the default shouldn't actually be true since it is 
actually a quirk that some browsers might not be able to deal with &apos; 
and XML requires the escaping of single quotes since they can be used to 
surround attributes.

Does anyone have an opinion one way or the other?  I've removed presetting 
of quirks in the HTMLFormatter where OutputOptions defaults were being 
overridden.  I think if people need certain quirks, they should explicitly 
state this fact by setting their own OutputOptions.

Anyway, let me know.

Oh, the other thing that needs to be verified are the testcases.  I know 
there are some test cases that are broken, but I'm not sure which ones 
really matter?  What I mean is, there are some test cases that have been 
broken for quite a while.... at least before I started making changes, so 
David, Richard, Mark, or anyone else out there that wants to help out, it 
would be great if you could peruse these and flag anything that is failing 
and absolutely shouldn't be failing for an XMLC release.

later,

Jake
