That they weren't turned on is the main issue, though. It turns out that
you didn't scrap the translate_* attributes, and fix HtSGMLCodec.cc to
always translate " & < and > until Feb 12, after 3.2.0b1
was released, so if Roger built his database with 3.2.0b1, without
explicitly turning on the translate_* attributes, and hasn't rebuilt it
since, then his database would include the untranslated SGML entities
in the excerpts, regardless of the version he's currently running.
