to be very pedantic ;) the apostrophe is a character (logical entity),
and the choice of actual glyph used to render it (curly or not) is up to
the browser and font.

As do I. I wonder whether it's the same one. ;-)
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 , ,
or , the transformation scripts take care of inserting the correct
typographical character into the HTM pages.
Huh. Somehow I thought that we'd gone to using the curved characters for
both quotation marks and apostrophes. But now that you say that, I seem to
recall having had this pointed out to me before...
