What if the rendering of quote markings was a user option. One option would 
be to render the markings just as they were in the source/printed document. 
Or, the user could select a quoting style. This way the linguists & 
translators would have their say, and the user could either accept them or 
ignore them if the user so desires. Put another way, the user could be 
inspired to go with what the linguists & translators provided or the user 
could be inspired to use one of the options the computer geeks were 
inspired to provide. On the other hand, we could have some guy be a world 
wide overseer who would have ultimate authority to determine what quoting 
method would be correct for each document and we could all submit to him.
