Thank you for the helpful advice. I got away from using named character entities like “ some time ago because they weren't always properly rendered, whereas the numeric ones were. For example, in my original post on this board, & didn't render properly and I had to use &.

It's interesting that epubcheck 1.1 doesn't catch non-Unicode character entities, and that, given that the 3-digit codes are Windows ones, they were never rendered properly by Microsoft Reader!
