Result of web-browsing to test.shtml:

Why isn't this working?

Arg!  

I had somehow gotten some hidden characters in the text. This little command revealed the issue:

> python -c "f = open('test.shtml', 'r'); f.seek(0); file = f.readlines(); print file"

["Why isn't this working?<br />\n", '<!--#echo var=\xe2\x80\x9dDATE_LOCAL\xe2\x80\x9d -->\n', '<br />Arg!<br />\n', '\n']

which led me to discover that my double-quotes were "smart quotes". (I must've copy/pasted the code from a web site that used smart-quotes. D'oh!").

Thanks anyway! Sorry for the noise!
