Unicode punctuation characters vs. HTML entities

[Rocco Stanzione]

I brought this up a couple of times on the channel, but there wasn't much of a 
response.  I haven't searched the whole tree, but I noticed that 
ubuntu/quicktour/quicktour.html and the XML file from which it was apparently 
created are full of unicode punctuation characters, where most of the 
HTML/XML docs in the tree use HTML entities.  I hate funky unicode 
characters.  They're almost impossible to deal with in parsers and regexp 
engines, they make for severe ugliness when copied and pasted, and my 
terminal doesn't handle them well.  I assume we want consistency one way or 
the other, and I vote for using HTML entities.  I'll be happy to make the 
changes if that's where we want to go.
