Shoot the web author who encoded quotations marks that way.  I'm not sure
that any current web standards permit numerics in that way, but I could be
wrong at this point in the evening.

It depends on what you are using on the desktop side.  I have a script that
puts the file path into $HOME/.jpilot/jpilot_to_install for example. 
Generally, you can choose to "install" the pdb created with your desktop
program and then hit sync.
