Although it must be noted that this is much more verbose than using the 
‘quotes’ property. Specifying a comprehensive list of quotes for 
different languages would take only a single line per language with 
‘quotes’, and an order of ten times more without.

So the lack of ‘quotes’ will probably result in user agents having a 
default style inserting “ and ” or even " (not language-dependant), and 
websites in languages that do not use those quotes specifying different 
quotes in their CSS, possibly based on a :lang() selector.
