IE doesn't balk at the UTF-8, since it shows Ash, Thorn, and Eth correctly
in the table. Anyway, replacing all UTF-8 with NCRs makes no difference,
at least not for me in IE 6.0; I added this just now at the bottom of the
page:

Maybe I'm naive but after all the talk about how bad precomposed characters
are and how much more proper it is to use combining characters to get
accents (and presumably overlines, since in this case there's no other
way), I kind of expected this to "just work" :-) I guess we still have a
ways to go...
