Thanks, I had not considered that, and perhaps we should use <q> for ordinary double-quoting in English. However, <q> does not address text like this: Astrodienst’s Web version of Shanks and Pottenger’s which is not as nice as: Astrodienst’s Web version of Shanks and Pottenger’s Also, <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-q-element> says that <q> is not always a substitute for ordinary double-quoting. For example, in: They are not in any sense “standard compatible” – some are using <q> would be incorrect as this does not quote another source. So even if we use <q> there are places where we will still need curved quotes in the HTML. For more about issues with <q>, please see: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10216
