Thanks for the link -- I've learned a lot about apostrophe from the
'Talk:' page and from a link to corresponding section of Unicode
standard:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr8/#Apostrophe%20Semantics%20Errata

So it is incorrect -- &rsquo; (according to Unicode standard) should
be used both as right quotation apostrophe and as single quotation
mark.

I've used this construct to detect non-ASCII characters in *.xsl files:
for file in *.xsl; do
 echo "File: $file"
 xmllint --encode ASCII $file | diff -B -I '<\?xml' $file - | wc
done

This shows that *.xsl are in ASCII. Grepping for '&#' shows that there
are no other entities on the loose: only &nbsp;, &nl;, &tab;, &rsquo;
(which is going to be removed).
