304762 - Nested <q> tag not handled correctly.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 16206

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Robert Poole]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

According to W3C recommendations, when you nest one <q> tag inside of another,
you should follow the current localization's rules for nested quotation marks. 
For example, take the following:
<q>this is a fine <q>example</q></q>

In the U.S., this should render as follows:

"this is a fine 'example'"

In the UK, this should render as follows:

'this is a fine "example"'

Instead, the example renders as follows in my version of Firefox:

"this is a fine "example""

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Point the browser to a web page with nested <q> tags.
2. Look at the how the page is rendered.


Actual Results:  
Firefox 1.0.6 does not seem to understand nested <q> tags, so double-quotes are
used every time (at least in the U.S. locale).

Expected Results:  
The <q> tag is supposed to render according to the localized rules for nesting
quotation marks.  (See the description above for examples.)
