I have not tried anything yet for three reasons:
1. I don't know that I have access to anything that can do the
proper test that's required, so I can know if I've fixed it or not.
2. Tomas' blog included examples that seemed to say to replace
"\xa0" with "\u00a0", NOT "\ua0", and I don't know if this difference
matters or not.
3. Can someone provide me with a link to the correct development
version of help('iconv')? The current version includes the exact
offending "\x" strings that I have. If I know the fix in the correct
development version of help('iconv'), I can copy that. Without that,
I'm being asked to correct something that may not have been corrected in
the development version of the base package.
Thanks,
Spencer
