Details

The quotation tags <q></q> behavior on Mozilla and Firefox doesn't respect the
XHTML 1.1 xml:lang attribute.  Given:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Big5" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="zh-tw">
<head>
<title>Testing Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
q:lang(zh-tw) { quotes: "[" "]"; }
q:lang(en)    { quotes: '<' '>'; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Chinese text -->
<p>Some Chinese said: <q>It's fine.</q></p>
<!-- English text -->
<p xml:lang="en">Some European said: <q>It's fine.</q></p>
</body>
</html>

It gets:

Some Chinese said: [It's fine.]

Some European said: <It's fine.>

But given:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Big5" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="zh-tw">
<head>
<title>Testing Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
q:lang(zh-tw) { quotes: "[" "]"; }
q:lang(en)    { quotes: '<' '>'; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Chinese text -->
<p>Some Chinese said: <q>It's fine.</q></p>
<!-- English text -->
<p xml:lang="en">Some European said: <q>It's fine.</q></p>
</body>
</html>

It gets:

Some Chinese said: "It's fine."

Some European said: "It's fine."

I prefer writing valid XHTML 1.1.  XHTML 1.1 has no "lang" attribute.  It would
be great if it can respect the xml:lang here.
Summary: Quotations <q></q> on Mozilla (Also Firefox) Doesn't Respect XHTML 1.1 xml:lang → <q></q> Doesn't Respect xml:lang on Mozilla (Also Firefox)
You're most likely not serving the page as application/xhtml+xml, as is supposed
to be for XHTML 1.1.

And if not, then the page is not parsed as XML.  It is parsed as HTML, which
means an xml: attribute will be disregarded.

After a couple of days testing, I guess you are right.
