I don't see this as so cut and dry. True, description ALLOWS
entity-encoded HTML, but the authors of the RSS 2.0 specification
decided not to REQUIRE entity-encoded HTML, apparently over
concerns of
backwards compatibility.
But you know as well as I that the word "allows" here is bogus; the
only way this can possibly work is for anything that looks like HTML
markup to be interpreted HTML. Or essentially, that RSS descriptions
must always be interpreted as HTML.
However, my conclusion about iTunes was based on the de facto
standard here. I'd expect any aggregator, when faced with that RSS
item, to decode the apostrophe, so therefore iTunes should as well.
