smart quotes and other bad characters in our documents

[Kurt T Stam <kstam@redhat.com>]

The documents seems to have a lot of 'bad' characters. If I try copy and 
pasting XML fragments out of the documents I end up having to scrub out 
'smart quotes' and weird space characters. This may be because I have it 
open in LibreOffice. Does anyone else have this issue too? Is there a 
way we can avoid these issues?

Thx,
