E-mail obfuscation on names with apostrophes

E-mail obfuscation on names with apostrophes

I've got an email address that looks something like this in markdown:

[Jim O'Hara](mailto:jim-1gzo9gducWfYtjvyW6yDsg@public.gmane.org)


If I leave the default javascript obfuscation method on, it will create a 
malformed bit of script, where that single quote will screw things up 
because it isn't escaped:

<p><script type="text/javascript">
<!--
h='&#x6f;&#104;&#x61;&#114;&#x61;&#46;&#x6f;&#114;&#x67;';a='&#64;';n=
'&#106;&#x69;&#x6d;';e=n+a+h;
document.write('<a h'+'ref'+'="ma'+'ilto'+':'+e+'" clas'+'s="em' + 'ail">'+'Jim 
O'Hara'+'<\/'+'a'+'>');
// -->
</script><noscript>
&#74;&#x69;&#x6d;&#32;&#x4f;&#x27;&#72;&#x61;&#114;&#x61;&#32;&#40;&#106;&#x69;&#x6d;&#32;&#x61;&#116;&#32;&#x6f;&#104;&#x61;&#114;&#x61;&#32;&#100;&#x6f;&#116;&#32;&#x6f;&#114;&#x67;&#x29;
</noscript></p>

I can work around it easily enough by specifying either none or references 
for the obfuscation method. I tried escaping with a preceding backslash, 
and using a curly apostrophe and &rsquot; The last gets me a 
O’Hara

in the output. Finally I tried using a double backslash and that worked.

So is this a bug or just something that needs to be documented? (Or am I 
missing something obvious.)

TIA.

I'd call that a bug.  Can you submit a report on the
tracker?
