We almost disabled this a couple years ago, however Neapolitan uses the '' sequence legitimately within text, and it appears in article titles. :(

See bug 8097, bug 8932... and probably a couple related entries I can't find atm.

Boldly declining - no recent reports, does not appear to still be an issue, titles with '' can be linked to now
