The problem is that the apostrophe isn't really an apostrophe. The
validator gives the correct error message when it says:
Line 82, column 81: non SGML character number 146
...L registration information so you don??t have to
enter/re-enter it by hand (q
The character that you think is an apostrophe is somehow entered as
codepoint #146. (Perhaps it was cut-n-pasted from a wordprocessor or
other document that has a non-standard character set?) Edit the page
to replace the offending character with a "real" apostrophe and all
should be well.
