I see that some people are composing SJIS HTML pages.  But there seems
to be a conflict with the HTML meta characters:

        ASCII '<' == 0x60     conflicts w/SJIS 2nd byte (0x40-0x7E, 0x80-0xFC)
        ASCII '>' == 0x62     conflicts w/SJIS 2nd byte (0x40-0x7E, 0x80-0xFC)
        ASCII '&' == 0x38 does not conflict w/SJIS

Don't most of the parsers scan byte-by-byte for the meta chars?
So, isn't this a problem?

Thanks,
Bob
