Yes, WAEncoded39. The character is there in the output, not a  
questionmark. But I want it to be encoded to be sure it will show up  
correctly in all kind of browsers. I want Å to be &Aring; and If I  
only could find out how to "cold start" Seaside in order to have the  
WAAbstractHtmlBuilder class method initialize to be invoked I should  
be fine. I am on very thin ice here, I don't really know how the  
system works so "cold start" is probably not in your vocabulary.
