Does anyone have a suggestion as to how this issue can best be resolved? As explained in an earlier message, there are problems with Ian's suggestion to use the " character entity instead of the Q element to denote in-line quotations. Specifically, I have argued that correct braille presentation requires maintenance of the distinctions between double and single, opening and closing quotation marks respectively; and I am unaware of a backward-compatible means of doing so. Does Unicode (or ISO 8859-1 which is what most older user agents support) include distinct opening and closing single quotation marks? If not, I think the best solution would be to leave the requirement in checkpoint 3.7 as is.
