I tried to do something similar, namely to replace "..." by
"&hellip;", and "---" by "&mdash;", in HTML-mode. It didn't work,
so I posted a question:

http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/71101

The reply was, this has to do with abbrev following the Emacs
definition of what is a word. Apparently, you can fiddle with
that, which, for a local mode, perhaps is smart (in my case, the
HTML mode), but I decided not to do it, because it might screw up
my cursor movement finger habits, and I am very picky about those.
