Obviously, this is a good fix and doesn't change the meaning.  Kurt,
can you please adjust the text of my proposal D ?  (I hereby propose
and/or accept this as necessary.)

Martin is correct.  My intent here was to simply to use matched quotes
(according to ASCII as defined in, for example RFC-20).  Unfortunately
ISO-646 is not compatible with ASCII.  I should write this up
properly some time.

For correct HTML rendering, &ldquo; &rdquo; is right.

I think what Kurt means is that he is not, even with his secretary hat
on, able to make changes himself.  Changes must be formally proposed,
and accepted by the proposer.

Ian.
