	The above should (obviously) have been the other way around b
	b("b)b(any character other than b.bb), with the example being, say:

   Source: <unittitle>"Mary had a little lamb" </unittitle>
   Result: <unittitle>"Mary had a little lamb."</unittitle>

	My guess is that such bsourceb elementbs text is indeed a bit
	unlikely to occur.
