Yes, indeed they are.  And it turns out that they are coming out from
the engine effort, not from Xiphos' post-engine hackery.  Matt 22:11,
catching the content immediately after the engine's output:

(gdb) p rework->str
$13 = (gchar *) 
    0x5e22190 "<span class=\"wordsOfJesus\"> ¶And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:</span> "

¶ is already there.  I checked that chapter because of the mention in
the ref'd web page of ¶ without space.

Now, I don't know how the engine is doing that, because the only
appearances of a literal ¶ character in the Sword code are in a couple
of ThML filters.

$ grep -r ¶ . | fgrep -v .svn
./src/modules/filters/thmlplain.cpp:			else if (!strncmp("para", token, 4)) text += "¶";
./src/modules/filters/thmlxhtml.cpp:	addAllowedEscapeString("para");   // "¶"
./src/modules/filters/thmlhtmlhref.cpp:	addAllowedEscapeString("para");   // "¶"

Xiphos' ¶ post-hackery apparently hasn't done anything in a very long
time.  I can't say how or when this happened, but the question has
become completely irrelevant.
