I think this is the right action for HTML. The main reason, AFAICS,
is to have working copy and paste. In most cases, stuff like '-1'
must be input with a normal hyphen and not with a real minus
character.
In other words, for all output devices that are used for cut and
paste, and which don't provide a means to control the characters
returned by the cut-and-paste action (as PDF can do), it makes sense
to display the (inferior) input characters by default.
