There are also countless occurrences in Documentation/, outside of Documentation/admin-guide. I suppose another patch in the series, which I didn't receive, will fix them? These characters will just reappear elsewhere, eventually. I'm not sure what is the gain here, other than minor consistence improvements. But we should add a Warning during documentation generation (if there isn't one already), to prevent them from spreading again. -- Gabriel Krisman Bertazi
