It is natural, since the "curly quotes" used by Windows do not reside at
a standard location within the ISO-Latin font-encodings.
Instead Windows-encodings place these characters within the "forbidden"
regions of encoding vectors. As a result, they would show as weird
alternative characters on non-Windows platforms (e.g. Macintosh).

Due to this non-standard treatment, LaTeX2HTML is programmed to not use
such characters, though it is possible to overide this.


Hope this helps,
