35700 - Nested Q elements are not rendered correctly.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 1061

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[B.K. DeLong]

According to the HTML 4.01 standard, the Q element should handle adding 
quotation marks to any and all quotes marked up with the tag based on the value 
of the "lang" attribute.

Nested quotes should be rendered appropriately - If the text we're using is 
American English, the primary quote has double quotation marks on either end 
while the inline quote has single quotation marks on either end:

John said, <Q lang="en-us">I saw Lucy at lunch, she told me
<Q lang="en-us">Mary wants you
to get some ice cream on your way home.</Q> I think I will get
some at Ben and Jerry's, on Gloucester Road.</Q>

would be rendered as:

John said, "I saw Lucy at lunch, she told me 'Mary wants you to get some ice 
cream on your way home.' I think I will get some at Ben and Jerry's, on 
Gloucester Road."

After speaking with some other people, I will try to add recommended 
implementations for various languages.
