FYI, The smart quotes are not limited to Mac only.
There's a useful reference page about them and other high ascii characters here: http://www.cs.tut.fi/%7Ejkorpela/www/windows-chars.html#list For the project I'm working on at the minute I have customized jTidy to take care of these and emit the correct HTML entity codes in the generated HTML. By default jTidy replaces the high ascii values with HTML entities, but the resulting output fails XHTML strict validation. I don't remember off the top of my head exactly what jTidy outputs, but the entities on the page linked above pass the validation test.
