The reason it's failing, is because that character need to be encoded as an
'entity' - I think I have an entities list around here somewhere.

anyway, that character should be encoded as É

_watch_out_ with your entities, though - I was trying to use   (the
ever present space in html) and my xslt processor barfed on it. I think
sablot has trouble with named entities. I'm not sure if that's a global
problem with xslt processors.

I've reverted to using the entity id's _only_ :)

like   =  

if you need a list of entities, mail me off list and I'll attach mine.
