I agree. Let the adapters do it.
You'll still have to transform things like “ but into their
unicode equivalents such as “.
The transforms also are being done at the wrong time. If someone writes
a UTF-8 html file,
any UTF8 characters they type won't be transformed. For example:
&#ldquo;““
turns into “““ in Firefox, but "“` in edbrowse.
They're all the same character, just encoded differently.
