I’ve never said otherwise.

However, I decided to voluntarily ignore that because
① C1 control characters have no business *at all*
  appearing in HTML, and
② it gives the best results with real-world existing
  broken software (I literally shuddered in disgust
  the first time I saw ““” in a document).

WHATWG saw to it that HTML is not about correctness,
so that’s what we get.
