I suspect so, because there's only two places I'm aware of that do ?
replacement.  One is in the unicode()  builtin / unicode.encode()
method, when the last argument is `replace'.  But we don't use those
anywhere (ht2html is decidedly non-i18n-aware).

The other is in the browser, e.g. when Mozilla gets characters outside
the page's charset and you've explicitly set the browser charset to
us-ascii.  But I think Thomas was giving samples of the .html file
generated from the .ht.

Other than that, I can't think of why those "funny" characters would
get transformed.
