Thank you for that, Damian! Apologies for taking a while to respond, but I wanted to leave reading the document until I had a sufficient chunk of time to do it justice. And I was very impressed.

For example: > > Perl 6 makes considerable use of E<laquo> and E<raquo>. I think the only standard XML entities are C<<>, C<>>, and C<&>. Particular XML languages can define further entities which use that syntax, but they aren't included by default. However, the examples you give are HTML entities, defined in the HTML 4 spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html Smylers
