Has the handling for the apostrophe character entity changed recently?

In the following example, the \xmltexentity for apostrophe is ignored,
resulting in a straight apostrophe instead of a curled one:

% SOT
\xmltexentity{apos}{’}
\xmltexentity{lsquo}{‘}
\xmltexentity{rsquo}{’}
\xmltexentity{laquo}{«}
\xmltexentity{raquo}{»}

\startbuffer[document]
<body>
  &lsquo;Sylvia&apos;s spilled &laquo;wine&raquo;.&rsquo;
</body>
\stopbuffer

\startxmlsetups xml:xhtml
  \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{body}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:body
  \xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xml:xhtml}

\starttext
  \xmlprocessbuffer{xhtml}{document}{}
\stoptext
% EOT

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thank you.

(see also https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/661002/270600)

There are two different problems here.

1. Typing "'" now gives a straight apostrophe instead of a curly one by 
   default.

   The solution to this is to add 
   
      \definefontfeature[default][default][trep=yes]
      
   somewhere near the start of your document. See this thread
   
      https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/104286.html
      
   from last year.
   
2. ConTeXt ignores the redefinition of predefined entities. 

   If you run this code:
   
      \enabletrackers[xml.entities]
      
      \xmltexentity{apos}{XXX}
      \xmltexentity{lsquo}{YYY}
      \xmltexentity{rsquo}{ZZZ}
      \xmltexentity{laquo}{«}
      \xmltexentity{raquo}{»}
      
   then you get this output:
   
      xml             > tex > registering tex entity 'apos' as 'XXX'
      xml             > tex > registering tex entity 'lsquo' as 'YYY'
      xml             > tex > registering tex entity 'rsquo' as 'ZZZ'
      xml             > tex > registering tex entity 'laquo' as '«'
      xml             > tex > registering tex entity 'raquo' as '»'
      xml             > core > resolving entity &lsquo; to internal '󰀁'
      xml             > core > resolving entity &lsquo; to internal '󰀁'
      xml             > core > resolving entity &apos; to predefined '''
      xml             > core > resolving entity &laquo; to internal '󰀂'
      xml             > core > resolving entity &laquo; to internal '󰀂'
      xml             > core > resolving entity &raquo; to internal '󰀃'
      xml             > core > resolving entity &raquo; to internal '󰀃'
      xml             > core > resolving entity &rsquo; to internal '󰀄'
      xml             > core > resolving entity &rsquo; to internal '󰀄'
      xml             > tex > passing entity 'lsquo' as 'YYY' using 'ctxcatcodes'
      xml             > tex > passing entity 'U+27' as ''' using 'ctxcatcodes'
      xml             > tex > passing entity 'laquo' as '«' using 'ctxcatcodes'
      xml             > tex > passing entity 'raquo' as '»' using 'ctxcatcodes'
      xml             > tex > passing entity 'rsquo' as 'ZZZ' using 'ctxcatcodes'

   I know of a bad way to fix this (see the linked SE question), but
   hopefully someone here knows of a proper solution.
   
Thanks,
