foxedit.php uses
htmlspecialchars($text,ENT_NOQUOTES)
on input text for preventing user-supplied text from containing HTML
markup, such as in a forum or commentbox application.
What you propose to do will remove this security measure.
In my working with foxedit i do not see HTML character codes
displayed in a wiki page or in a textarea form called by foxedit.
I can see it only by looking at the HTML page source.
not sure why it will show in your edit area as HTML code.
What browser do you use? I suspect some browser setting perhaps will
not decode the HTML characters in a textarea, but will show them
plain.
I use Firefox in general.
