Yes.  They all used to be done by default.  The config attributes that
turn off lt, gt, amp and quot were added as an afterthought because the
translated characters caused problems in search results.  As of 3.1.5, the
translated characters are reencoded as SGML entities in search results,
so in 3.1.6 the attributes are turned on by default, and 3.2.0b3 gets
rid of these attributes altogether.
