 * [Pattern matching on ampersands and other characters doesn’t check for the context of where they appear.](http://technocrank.com/2009/03/07/typogrify-wordpress-character-replacement/)
   For instance, an ampersand in a title attribute of an anchor tag inserts <span
   class=”amp”> which gives you a lot of double quotes and breaks the HTML. Really,
   the regex should check and make sure it’s not doing a replacement inside HTML,
   or at least in certain contexts.

 * wp-Typogrify has been officially replaced with [wp-Typography](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-typography/),
   which offers precisely the contextual awareness you sought.
