Use of wptexturize produces broken links and paths

Hi again !
As I said, here is a post about problems I encountered because of the WordPress function wptexturize (documentation).

When I started using plugin, all paths and links were broken. Here is the complete list of attributes available in templates which were broken:

• file_url
• base_file
• file
• path

To make things work, I had to modify the plugin a bit.
The culprit was wptexturize that makes some text transformations which produces wrong path, url or links.
In class-mla-shortcode-support.php file I replaced this (line 1007):
$item_values['file_url'] = wptexturize( $attachment->guid );

By this:
$item_values['file_url'] = $attachment->guid;

I also replaced this (line 1060):

$item_values['base_file'] = wptexturize( $base_file );
$item_values['file'] = wptexturize( $base_file );

By this:

$item_values['base_file'] = $base_file;
$item_values['file'] = $base_file;

And this (line 1068):

$item_values['base_file'] = wptexturize( $base_file );
$item_values['path'] = wptexturize( substr( $base_file, 0, $last_slash + 1 ) );
$item_values['file'] = wptexturize( $file_name );

By this:

$item_values['base_file'] = $base_file;
$item_values['path'] = substr( $base_file, 0, $last_slash + 1 );
$item_values['file'] = $file_name;

Now everything is working fine. Why did you used wptexturize on these variables ?
