Well, I compared them only *after* they had been displayed by Netsurf (when !Diff said they were identical), so perhaps there are differences between what's on the BBC website and what Netsurf outputs when I then save it out. To test this, I loaded the page via URL into Google Chrome and did ctrl-U to get what it thinks is the source code, whereupon I find the more usual "" character (as seen in a RISC OS editor) for apostrophe which Netsurf correctly shows as a closing quote. So I am left not knowing where either "â" or "" come from: original site or translation by one or other browser? My suspicion is that Netsurf started to insert "â" etc. after the site's change of meta data. Yet other browsers aren't affected and the reason is unclear. -- Bernard
