You'll have to use XML identities, as far as I know. So the Stan would
be:

myStan = tags.div[tags.xml("&copy; 2004 Soft Omicron"]

If you had any characters that needed to be translated into XML, you
would do something like this:

myStan = tags.div[
    "<&&This will render as normal text&>",
    "but this won't: ", tags.xml("&copy;"),
    ]

There may be a way to extend the string renderer so that it detects these
special characters and reformats them, but I think that'd get way too
hairy (given the plethora of different native encodings people use these
days).
