Nope, I was using UTF8 typographic quotes; along with em-dashes, 
non-break spaces and ellipses. Adhering to the "No HTML" list 
stipulation, but showing that plain text isn't as plain as most people 
think.

MS smart quotes where those nasty things that lived in the "do not use" 
section of ISO-8859. They were a Unicode U+1F4A9* and no mistake.
