Thanks for the reply. I've attached an xhtml template that does this. 
Just running it on the command line produces the weird characters. I've 
gzipped the file in case it gets munged in the email. Try running it 
like this (using a version of Petal >= 1.05):

# export PETAL_INPUT=XHTML
# export PETAL_OUTPUT=XHTML
# perl -MPetal -e canonical default.xhtml

For me it produces this output:

<table>
        <tr>
                <td>
                        Â  <a <?attr name="href" 
value="string:/admin/albums/photos/add?category=${category/id}"?>>add 
photo</a>Â
                        <a <?attr name="href" 
value="string:/admin/albums/category/edit?id=${category/id}"?>>edit 
category</a>Â
                        <a <?attr name="href" 
value="string:/admin/albums/category/move?id=${category/id}"?>>move 
category</a>Â
                        <a <?attr name="href" 
value="string:/admin/albums/category/delete?id=${category/id}"?>>delete 
category</a>Â
                        <?if name="false:ARGS/archived"?><a <?attr 
name="href" 
value="string:/admin/albums/photos/view?id=${category/id}&amp\;archived=yes"?>>show 
archived photos</a><?end?>
                        <?if name="true:ARGS/archived"?><a <?attr 
name="href" 
value="string:/admin/albums/photos/view?id=${category/id}"?>>hide 
archived photos</a><?end?>
                <input type="submit" value="next &gt;Â &gt;" />
                </td>
        </tr>
</table>

I notice it seems to only affect &nbsp; entities - other tags like &gt; 
are left alone.

Cheers,
