Strange behavior on the xmlEncodeEntities() and xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant()...

xmlEncodeEntities() is deprecated in favor of xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant(), but they work differently. In 2.5.11, xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant() doesn't handle ' or ", and in 1.8.17, it doesn't handle '.

Dunno, I'll figure something out.. Maybe just rewrite the function to handle <>&'" and !isprint()able characters as mentioned earlier. Probably doesn't make much difference either way.
