Subject: The ellipsis problem is on your end

[Sorry, 3rd try; please disregard the other two.]


You can't use … in XML to mean ellipsis; that's U+0085, the (in)famous NEL character, which is rightly treated by Python as whitespace. Ellipsis is at U+2026 and should be spelled #&x2026; or #&8230;.


It's true that ellipsis is at 0x85 in Windows code pages, but that is neither here nor there for character references.
