  Yep, things change in time...

  Although HTML 4.01 and other SPECS never succeeded to the point
of  making  serving  valid  HTML/XHTML  a  rule of thumb, or best
practice, things seem to have improved a bit since our early days
(just  my  perception out of finding more and more dillo-readable
sites these days).

  Escaping  '  as  APOS  finds  a solid reason in server contexts
where  there's  a  need  to accept untrusted input for scripts or
databases.

  I'd say, +1, feel free to commit.

  PS: Please post a sample URL. Just to get the feel of it. ;)
