           Summary: [s60] LXUU-6YTB78 - GCF-AE-Browsing-S60-SPPR50.31:
                    Nested quotations are not rendered according to
                    specification

           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: S60 Emulator
        OS/Version: S60 3rd edition
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: PlatformOnly, InTSW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.

User agents should render quotation marks in a language-sensitive manner (see
the lang attribute). Many languages adopt different quotation styles for outer
and inner (nested) quotations, which should be respected by user-agents.
The following example illustrates nested quotations with the Q element.
John said, <Q lang="en-us">I saw Lucy at lunch, she told me<Q lang="en-us">Mary
wants youto get some ice cream on your way home.</Q> I think I will getsome at
Ben and Jerry's, on
 Gloucester Road.</Q>
Since the language of both quotations is American English, user agents should
render them appropriately, for example with single quote marks around the inner
quotation and double quote marks around the outer quotation:
  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."
