Could have been - someone else's cut-and-paste perhaps. But in a way it
doesn't really matter - the point here is that it's easy to run into
unpleasant encoding problems like this and not always easy to solve them in
practical, real-life applications. Then to be able to advise someone having
some problem like this ... when you're dealing with something invisible
anyway ... no wonder people get confused.
