Surely we're only talking about using """ in the XML syntax, not in
the Presentation Syntax.
The question about how we escape quotes in the presentation syntax
worries me because it's very distracting. I'd like the presentation
syntax to be implementable, but I don't want to spend significant WG
time on that this month (and we've already spent a lot).
Maybe we can focus on issues in the XML syntax instead?
