I have just read a new document ``Quotation Character Semantics'', available on the Web at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2errata/QuoteErrata.html This document discusses quotation character conventions in several European languages, and a related document ``Apostrophe Semantics'' at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2errata/Apostrophe.htm discusses issues that appear when more than one apostrophe-like character is available for use, as is the case in Unicode. I raise these issues on the tex-implementors and latex-l lists because I believe they are relevant for TeX markup of documents, and for the LaTeX-3 design. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
