By the time it gets to XHTML, it's actual binary encoded UTF-8, no
character references at all.

The more I think about it, I think sentence case and exclamation
points should be enough to convey shouting. Another wrinkle is that
<foreign> currently gets transformed into italic text, so we would end
up with bold italic which is beyond the pale. This could be overcome
through CSS or changing how we handle foreign language text in the
XSL, but that's how it stands.
