Incorrect HTML when using footnotes and smarty-pants together

[uranusjr]

    text = """
    foo[^1]

    [^1]: bar
    """
    markdown2.markdown(text, extras={'footnotes', 'smarty-pants'})

Results in

<p>foo<sup class="footnote-ref&#8221; id="fnref-1"><a href="#fn-1">1</a></sup></p>

<div class="footnotes">
<hr />
<ol>
<li id="fn-1">
<p>bar&nbsp;<a href="#fnref-1" class="footnoteBackLink" title="Jump back to footnote 1 in the text.">&#8617;</a></p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>

The quotation mark right before id in the footnote ref is incorrectly converted by smarty-pants to a right quotation mark glyph.

This looks like it might be the same problem I'm having with smarty-pants and inline html:

markdown2.markdown('<img src="/path/to/img.png" alt="Alt Text">', extras=["smarty-pants"])

Outputs:

u'<p><img src="/path/to/img.png&#8221; alt="Alt Text"></p>\n'

Just a (hopefully polite) ping on this issue, when will it be fixed? I need this functionality for my markdown to html thing. I'd be more than glad to try and work on a fix if nobody else is doing so.

I would say that if you have time to try to contribute a fix for this, please do :)
