Do 4thers also replace 7bitQuoteChar by 24bits?

Yes, it may be nice to be able to write in Chinese and Arabic
instead of just ASCII. But did we cancel "walking" when we got
the jet-plane.

What was insufficient about the single & double quote chars,
that needed them to be replaced by 3 bytes?

Investigating what was sent to show the 3 chars: "e"

# grep example /root/ORS.htm | hexdump -C | head -3 

00000000  49 6e 20 79 6f 75 72 20  65 78 61 6d 70 6c 65 20  
|In your example |
00000010  e2 80 9e 65 22 20 69 73  20 35 20 28 3d 20 e2 80  
|â..e" is 5 (= â.|
00000020  9e 31 30 31 e2 80 9c 20  69 6e 20 62 69 6e 61 72  
|.101â.. in binar|

   shows
e2 80 9e = "
65 = e
22 = "

So it's not even consistent. 
Or double-quote maps to multiple possibilities.
