A group of standards so uncommon, that in the case of one of the most spoken languages on the planet, the printed version is not available from Amazon UK? Oh geez, as if Amazon.co.uk (and I am a former CTO of Amazon.fr...) was THE reference for books in french. > And what happens when the document is written from the perspective of an non-standard dialect? The author loses the ability to safely use <q>? That's _precisely_ similar to the current situation : your browser knows how to handle quotes for a few languages and not the others. If you want your web site's visitors to see the quotes you need in your own language, use the relevant CSS properties. </Daniel> -- W3C CSS WG, Co-Chair
