I just had a thought about this problem. I wonder if the material in that site is put through one of those universal translators. This is a program which takes text in any language just about and converts it to other languages on the fly so to speak. The World Science site is visited by people all over the planet. It may be sophisticated enough to recognize the visitor's location and translate the text accordingly. The Universal Translator breaks words up into smaller increments as it is translating. Then, the word is reassembled on the printed page. Why it does this, I have no idea but FedEx uses similar technology in their sites and you wouldn't believe some of the odd results. Anyway, Jaws might be seeing some of those hidden processing notations and reacting. Now, how can we get it to ignore things like your hidden messages and other text processing functions. Have you tried doing a screen shot and then saving it to Word or one of the other text handling programs? Maybe, in the translation, the hidden separators would be lost.
