Remove unportable use of SGML character-code entity.

It'd be nice to be able to spell Jan Urbanski's name with the correct
accent marks, but we haven't yet found a way that works in everybody's
docs toolchain. This way definitely doesn't.

Accent-N is not available in Latin1, so we are stuck. We could do
tilde-N, but that seems wrong. The good news is that this is the only
name I couldn't do. We might try Asian characters someday if we had a
UTF toolchain.

Actually Pavel Stehule's last name has some funny accent too (it's
Stěhule). I don't think you can do that in Latin1.
