I've noticed in using Swish-e that the swishdescription output is 
different depending on whether you get it with the "-x ..." extended 
output format or the default output format: "-x ..." extended output 
format HTML-unescapes, e.g. " -> ", etc. and the default output 
format does not. I know the "-x ..." extended output allows you to specify 
printf-style format strings and put in C-style escapes, and so the string 
is processed, and that is probably why it is HTML-unescaped too. So this 
is an inconsistency, but is it a bug? Maybe it should be documented 
better.
