Oh geez, as if Amazon.co.uk (and I am a former CTO of Amazon.fr...) was
THE reference for books in french.

That's _precisely_ similar to the current situation : your browser
knows how to handle quotes for a few languages and not the others.
If you want your web site's visitors to see the quotes you need in
your own language, use the relevant CSS properties.
