The proposed <q>...</q> element in HTML 3.0 is intended to reduce the
need for typing these characters. The browser wraps the enclosed text
in double or single quotes, alternating as <q>s are nested. With the
LANG attribute, the idea is that the browser selects the appropriate
characters for that language. Double or single quotes being appropriate
for the default LANG="en_us".
