I am this close to finally validating an epub file that has been full of bugs in the toc.ncx (thank you, InDesign). But now I'm seeing (4 instances of) an error message I've not encountered before:

blah blah.epub/OEBPS/toc.ncx: Open quote is expected for attribute "playOrder" associated with an element type "navPoint".

Here's the code for the last 5 items:

<navPoint id="navpoint-134" playOrder="135"><navLabel><text>Chicken Biscklets</text></navLabel><content src="CastIronCuisine-16.xhtml#toc-anchor-5"/></navPoint>
<navPoint id="navpoint-135" playOrder="136"><navLabel><text>Charcoal Chews</text></navLabel><content src="CastIronCuisine-16.xhtml#toc-anchor-6"/></navPoint>
<navPoint id="navpoint-136" playOrder="137"><navLabel><text>Resources</text></navLabel><content src="CastIronCuisine-17.xhtml#toc-anchor"/></navPoint>
<navPoint id="navpoint-137" playOrder="138"><navLabel><text>Glossary</text></navLabel><content src="CastIronCuisine-18.xhtml#toc-anchor"/></navPoint>
<navPoint id="navpoint-138" playOrder="139"><navLabel><text>About Us</text></navLabel><content src="CastIronCuisine-19.xhtml#toc-anchor"/></navPoint>

Can you please point out the error of my ways so I can go straight to GO?
