           Summary: -webkit-locale should be inferred from system language
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ap at webkit.org

Consider the following HTML document:

<html>
<body>
<p>John said <q>Mary said <q>blah</q> to me.</q></p>
</body>
</html>

All these quotes will be displayed as ASCII ones, which is not right.

I think that we should use system language as the last fallback for document language, as this would be correct more often than not. Of course, lang attribute or HTTP headers would still have precedence.
