Nuke them. You should find most of them marked with
<!-- smiley -->
or similar, because it's something I noticed when I was doing the
DocBook conversion a few years back.
At one point I was considering turning them in to entities, so you'd
write
&smiley;
or similar, and then the simley entity would either be ":-)" or ""
depending on personal preference. But I think that's overkill.
