That won't work always, because there may be other languages where "" is the
quote convention on the top level, as for English, and you'd still end up with
text where you don't really see what starts where and what ends where.

I guess you can always write some rule like
:lang(en) > :lang(no) > * ...
or maybe even something more generic. You don't need classes or HTML attributes
for that. It won't work out of the box in a browser, but it's easy to put that
in your own stylesheet unless you have hundreds of combinations of languages.
Regards, Martin.
