I don't know; I'm not a W3C standards lawyer.  Most software seems able
to cope with 0xa0; this wouldn't be the first time we've run into a
problem with the current portal.

Ask me again if my previous email didn't help.

Ah, yes.  Will fix.

No good reason.  I don't know Python well enough to understand if there
are performance implications.  I guess that unless there is a serious
performance hit from doing so, the cleanest approach would be to
unconditionally replace attributes[i] for both "href" and "title".  I'll
do that unless you object.
