Citing Markus Kuhn.
Unicode 2.1 explicitly says that U+2019 is the preferred
punctuation apostrophe
The Unicode 3.0 standard says explicitly that U+0027 be a "neutral
(vertical) glyph having mixed usage"
Anybody with the Unicode book at hand may supply us with a page or
section number.
I have inspected the "Final proof for Latin alphabet No. 9" which is
available online at
http://www.indigo.ie/egt/standards/iso8859/8859-15-en.pdf with acrobat
reader and with ghostview. The U+0027 character there in section 6.2
definitely is a vertical bar on my screen. Maybe my screen is infected?
