oh, you are right! I thought I had checked that. With these stylesheets I
see those 
 characters, too. Then it's not the tool but the stylesheet?
The html stylesheet seems to remove those 
 characters while the xhtml
stylesheet doesn't? It sounds strange though that the output is different -
is there a reason? And if the html stylesheet removes 
 it should be
possible to customize the xhtml stylesheet to do the same?
