Indeed. There are several softwares contributing to edits to the text, and
indeed they sometimes trip over each other. Certainly r157 was a mistake of
that sort. I believe that with r180 all the text is in correct and reasonable
Windows-1252: which was not true even at r2, unfortunately. The rule for now
is: Windows-1252 only. Most browsers accept its non-Latin-1 characters
correctly even when told that the transmission is in Latin-1.
Our goal is, indeed, to add pronouncing accents to the Latin text, using the
19th- and 20th-century conventions, and to replace "ae" with either "æ"z or
"aë" depending on which is correct. For now, the accent on æ must be omitted
because it is not on the code page. (The accent on œ doesn't apparently
appear even in Unicode).
The other goal, of course, is to move to UTF-8 on input and on output. To do
this gradually requires that the textbase support both at once, with the
decision which being guessed (correctly!) when the file is read. I am moving
that work to branches/utf8.
