> Currently auto resolves on each element it's used, it's just now changed to look at the parent instead of the element itself. To get the behavior you have in the last example (Mais Lucy répondit: «Give George my love and tell him, ‹Muddle›».) you'd need to spec q q { quotes: match-parent; }. Do you think we should do this by default or is e.g. (Mais Lucy répondit: «Give George my love and tell him, “Muddle”».) a reasonable default?
No, no. Keeping the same style of quote marks for embedded quotes is what i'm asking for in many of my previous comments in this thread, and as the default. Everything i've seen indicates that the internal quotes should be consistent with the external quotes. I therefore don't see “Muddle” as a reasonable default. It should be ‹Muddle›. hth
Also, what happens if you have more than one set of embedded quotes – rare, i grant you, but probably not something to ignore.
I also find myself wondering why auto should be the default setting, since match-parent (where parent means the context outside the outermost quotes) is really what we need by default. It seems to me that the auto setting should produce that most of the time anyway – i hope it will not turn into something that allows browsers to continue doing the wrong thing as they have been doing so far.
