Re: Don't require <Q>

Bruce,

Yes, from what you say, if you count current browser brands  most do 
something logical.

But if you count users, the vast majority still have software which omits 
quotes (e.g. MSIE 5, NN 4.73).  So there' still a problem... just like you 
pointed out two years ago.

BTW, AOLPress only does neutral quotes, not typographical right and left.
