No problem. As always I've learnt something which may help me in the future.

Thanks. When comparing things I also realized that I had accidentally
created a reversed patch. Thanks for fixing this.

I tend to prefer a slightly bigger mouseover-region but I don't really mind.

I like it and think it's ready for commiter.

I'm not sure I follow. I cannot see any namespacing weirdness in my output.

Are you using the v1.79.2 styleshhets?

It's not the first time this is coming up. See my response in the old
thread:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/e50193ea-ca5c-e178-026a-f3fd8942252d%40gmx.de

Personally I'd advise to stick with ASCII for now.

In any case changing the symbol at some point would be a very minor
effort if we deem it necessary.

Maybe this could be part of some general overhaul of the visual
apperance and website styling by a person with more talent for this than
I have.
