On a technical note, the bookref links don't seem to work properly for either the simple or the less-simple editions. My only complaint is that it's a /long/ footnote. Perhaps a lengthy explanation is ultimately unavoidable, but precedent from footnote #1 suggests the possibility of moving the bulk of this explanation to the Readers' Handbook...
If we could come to a consensus that X is almost certain, while Y and Z are implausible alternatives, I'd agree. Leaving my own opinions and prejudices aside :-D I suppose that all alternatives should be covered. Even if I personally feel one way is clearly what is meant here. ;-)
(On an almost completely unrelated note, the apostrophe in Readers' Handbook is the straight-apostrophe character, not the nice curved typographic apostrophe used elsewhere in the /test/ versions. An oversight?)
No, the apostrophe style in the PA editions is to always use the straight-style character; only quotation marks are in the curved-style. Assuming that all ' marks in the xml are properly replaced by either <quote> </quote>, <ch.apos/>, or <ch.lsquot/> <ch.rsquot/>, the transformation scripts take care of inserting the correct typographical character into the HTM pages.
A quick search of all the xml shows that only two occurrences of ' appear in the books: one in 01hh and one in 03toz. I'm off to rectify this!
