From the HTML 4.01 standard:
    User agents should render quotation marks in a language-sensitive
    manner (see the lang attribute). Many languages adopt different
    quotation styles for outer and inner (nested) quotations, which 
    should be respected by user-agents.

English is one of those langauges.  Nested quotes should use the ' character not
".  An example follows.

He said <q>She said <q>I think this is a he said/she said sort of thing.</q></q> 

should be rendered as

He said "She said 'I think this is a he said/she said sort of thing.'"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. nest <q></q> tags
2. view page


Actual Results:  
<q></q> is always rendered as "" even when it is nested.

Expected Results:  
<q></q> should be rendered as '' if it is already in a <q></q>
This is already fixed on the main development trunk.  It will appear in FF when
FF returns to the trunk for v1.1.
