I thought about this, but have decided to not go down that avenue just
yet because there could be all sorts of unforeseen and unwanted interactions.

Another solution might be to apply character entity formatting
immediately after doing the html_entities formatting; i.e., before
the LinkPatterns are applied.  I don't recall--is there a particular
reason why we chose to do entity formatting via $InlineReplacements and not
$DoubleBrackets...?
