Context is critical - what is perfectly reasonable and perhaps even expected in the real world, may be something else entirely if you're dealing with the US government, as I am. More explicit language would be helpful. Anyway, the responses are appreciated, and I've got enough to make and defend my case. The EEOC web site will be at Level A by tomorrow (I think), and AA by August. >>> Al Gilman <asgilman@iamdigex.net> 07/07 8:16 PM >>> In defence of Adam's reading of the guideline, it starts with the positive injunction, _Mark up quotations_. In plain English, this clearly means "if the text is a quotation, mark it up with BLOCKQUOTE or Q." I agree that it is sensible to apply the "until user agents" principle here to permit the user of "" in lieu of <Q></Q> in this case, but it takes a language lawyer to discern this. In other words, I think this should be treated as a case deserving a formal interpretation (whatever the process is for those).
