Re: More Microsoft abominations (was RE: Style Sheet Support)

 They're being used for the trademark symbol (tm) -- if they were to use
™ (as suggested) the symbol would not show up in a Netscape browser
(all the way through 4.02).   It would simply show the ™ characters.
I would say this qualifies as a Netscape abomination!

So how would you suggest this problem be worked around, because I'm faced
with it myself.
