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: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.2.2.1

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): * &#8220; (left double quotation mark, U+201C ISOnum) * &#8216; (left single quotation mark, U+2018 ISOnum) Closing Q tag (English): * &#8221; (right double quotation mark, U+201D ISOnum) * &#8217; (right single quotation mark, U+2019 ISOnum) Opening Q tag (German): * &#8222; (double low-9 quotation mark, U+201E) * &#8218; (single low-9 quotation mark, U+201A) ... Etc.
