Of course, immediately after sending that, I realized the error of my
ways.  — is invalid, but for whatever reason, I never switched to
—, probably for the reasons stated in your original email (it not
showing up correctly in some browsers).

I don't know what the best solution is.  FWIW, — works for me in a
bunch of different versions of IE on Windows and on Mozilla on both IE
and Linux.
