This actually has everything to do with XML.

It is XML-ized data I am representing.

And XML-Safe data needs apostrophes escaped, and CFMX's built-in 
XMLFormat() renders an apostrophe as... '

Viz:

..so now you see the crux of my dilemma. The character returned via the 
XML _doesn't display correctly_ for me, for some bizarre reason.
But this in IE 6.  In Netscape 7?  It renders _fine_.

:P
