Actually, no. 

What it is doing is taking content which is *not* in conformance with
either the W3C Character Model or RFC2396, and silently fixing it up so
that it *does* conform when dereferencing URLs.

This is supposed to happen on authoring (so the content is valid), not
as a form of retrospective error correction.
