Oh, right. This is a known issue (in a paralell thread here on
www-validator). You nailed it precisely Philip; the entities used are
&ldquo; and &rdquo;. "b.mauritsz" is probably using Netscape 4.x or another
browser that does not understand these entities and instead display them
verbatim.

A future version of the Validator will address this issue.

Thanks, both of you, for the feedback!
