Hello Stephen,

Why? If the quotes are generated from CSS (using the :before or :after
selectors), you can style the quotes with the :before or :after
selectors. For example,
q{quotes:"\2018" "\2019" "\201C" "\201D";text-decoration:underline}
q:before{content:open-quote}
q:after{content:close-quote}
q:before,q:after{text-decoration:none}
If the quotes aren't generated with CSS, I see no reason to impose
strange restrictions on those doing things properly for what amounts
to no benefit.
