1. Create Drupal 5.0b2 site from scratch.
2. Change site name (under Site information section) to "darcy's site".
3. Look at the "Site off-line message" under Site maintenance.

Output:
darcy's 5.0 b2 test is currently under maintenance. We should be back shortly. Thank you for your patience.

The apostrophe has been changed into ' in the text box. When the site is in off-line mode, the message that appears shows the apostrophe correctly.

The offline message is written in HTML, passed through filter_xss_admin(). It might look odd, but there is nothing wrong with it.
