I'm swamped with forms-related feedback at the moment, so I haven't been able to make a long detailed examination of the feedback so far, but my impression is that the best thing for us to do is to say that <q> should get punctuation marks like HTML4 says, since within a year all the browsers will do that, and then to encourage authors to use CSS to style their quote marks. It's not ideal, but it's also not a terrible disaster. Authors are still free to avoid using <q> and just use quotation marks directly in their markup if they desire. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
