John pointed out to me that i forgot to give the actual news article.  Here it 
is:

With a clever fix by Ali "The Bug Killer" Abdin to libxml, one of the 
last major insects plaguing the Nautilus DocBook help rendering system
has been eradicated.  His fixs lets entities to render properly in the 
help browser.  Specifically the … and — entities are parsed 
and render nicely.  Also entities which reference files are parsed 
correctly.   Ali's fix is in the just-released libxml 1.8.11 
<a href="ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libxml/
libxml-1.8.11.tar.gz">tarball</a> or <a href="ftp://rpmfind.net/pub/
libxml/libxml-1.8.11-1.i386.rpm">rpm</a> - you'll need that and the 
latest Nautilus for maximum joy.

Over the last couple of months, John Fleck has collected a couple of
additional problems that foul up the system. So he's updated the
"GDP Document Changes required for GNOME 1.4" <a href="http://
developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/changes/">document</a> to reflect his 
findings.

A lot of it was plagurized from jfleck's good email about it in 
gnome-doc-list gnome org
