What I agreed to was that using markup for smartening ASCII quotes was a bad idea. I wouldn't mind using spans for the special case of floating the quotation marks. How would you define CSS pseudo-elements for open and close quotes in such a way that they would be implementable and would not match apostrophes and would correctly differentiate between open and close quotes in languages that use the same character for opening and closing and in languages that invert the direction of guillemets compared to French? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://iki.fi/hsivonen/
