Yes, I had a look at the file before posting. It's generally better to
avoid escaping if possible. I wasn't suggesting that you use UTF-8
instead of the templates, but that you use UTF-8 instead of the
entities in the templates (see attached, hopefully it'll survive
transit).

I would like to improve unicode support. Since spirit's improving its
support it shouldn't be too hard. At the very least, I should check
for a BOM before the next release (at the moment it thinks it's text).
