Subject: [OSM-newbies] HTML character entities in osmarender

I just noticed that a street name with an apostrophe in it (which I 
may or may not have created several weeks ago) is now displayed by 
Osmarender as O'Bryan. Mapnik correctly displays it as O'Bryan 
and it appears in Potlatch as O'Bryan. By now I don't remember whether 
I added the name for that particular street, nor, if so, how I entered 
the apostrophe. I am sure that I didn't explicitly type in "'". 
I'm pretty sure that the apostrophe was properly displayed by 
Osmarender a few weeks ago, but I can't be 100% certain.

Should HTML character entities like ' be expected to be properly 
handled by Osmarender? I see that accented characters are displayed 
properly in other street names, but I don't know how they were 
entered.
