What would be the cost be if Firefox, Safari and Opera dropped the default quotation marks and advocated that authors provide their own quotation marks instead? This would make complicated CSS features for this not needed. It would probably make content designed with default quotation marks in mind harder to read, but not substantially harder and the most widely deployed user agent, Internet Explorer, will already show them in this way... -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
