Interesting use case. As far as the sentence is intended to be read by English speaking people, I think that they await for English typography marks, so English quotation marks would make sense. But If we had more nested quotations (French quoted into French quoted into English), the nested quotation would need French ones (in fact, it would need the quotation marks used into the outer quoted sentence). I think that quotation marks are not part of the quotation, but outside of it (:before and :after), so the @lang of the quotation mark is the @lang of the surrounding tag. -- Olivier G. http://www.lespacedunmatin.info/blog/
