If I am reading this idea wrong, please let me know! Note that I said that it should be based on what browsers do. It was not intended to be an idea for new rendering if it's not what browsers already do. As far as I know, by default browsers only render ASCII quotation marks in all cases (either single quotes or double quotes, depending on the nesting level), though I could be wrong. This would need to be investigated when it comes time to write the rendering section. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
