It looks like all space surrounding places and time where removed during the conversion process.
Sometime, space inside the place name is missing too.

Yes. A function in BBEdit chose to ignore any spaces around MS Word tags starting with < st1: and their closing tags.

I've reprocessed the story after fixing the script to strip those tags before running that particular command. It should be OK now.

Thankfully the Word Smart Tag craze died off quickly. It's buried deep in the UI and turned off by default. I didn't check if the xhtml is still polluted with them...
