Although it must be noted that this is much more verbose than using the ‘quotes’ property. Specifying a comprehensive list of quotes for different languages would take only a single line per language with ‘quotes’, and an order of ten times more without. So the lack of ‘quotes’ will probably result in user agents having a default style inserting “ and ” or even " (not language-dependant), and websites in languages that do not use those quotes specifying different quotes in their CSS, possibly based on a :lang() selector. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
