This seems like a very specific case to me. You are having a problem because
your text contains some HTML encoded things, but not all and because of the
limitations of charsets that your project has. These aren't very generic and is
not a problem that H::T should solve.

You know that your data won't fit the standard, so just do the escaping you
propose on your own.

We either don't have mixed strings like you do, or we've moved on to UTF8 :)
