I agree, but since our documentation is going to be translated into
various languages, I would suggest that we always escape these
characters, for the master (English) edition, which will make our
(especially Chinese, Japanese and Korean translation teams) life a lot
easier, because these characters would be misinterpreted to unreadable
stuff by poorly written editors, and we do not need to re-escape
these in translated versions, thus avoids mistakes.

Cheers,
