Q (quote) tags don't nest properly. Here is a fragment of HTML:
<p lang="en">Ben said, <q>We went to the Sisters concert, and shouted <q>Hey,
shorty!</q> at their diminutive lead singer.</q></p>
It should appear as:
Ben said, "We went to the Sisters concert, and shouted 'Hey, shorty!' at their
diminutive lead singer."
Instead it appears in Mozilla as:
Ben said, "We went to the Sisters concert, and shouted "Hey, shorty!" at their
diminutive lead singer."
Also see the HTML 4.01 spec:

Confirming with build 2001010420 on NT4.
Pretty Sure this is a dup. Remember looking for this a few months ago .I
haven't time now to find the exact bug number, but I'll add it later if I get a
chance

Just a thought: the Q element could possibly be extended further to support
Unicode "smart quotes"; for example:
Opening Q tag (English):
* “ (left double quotation mark, U+201C ISOnum)
* ‘ (left single quotation mark, U+2018 ISOnum)
Closing Q tag (English):
* ” (right double quotation mark, U+201D ISOnum)
* ’ (right single quotation mark, U+2019 ISOnum)
Opening Q tag (German):
* „ (double low-9 quotation mark, U+201E)
* ‚ (single low-9 quotation mark, U+201A)
... Etc.
