I thoroughly agree with this. It's "obvious" to a human what's meant, but not
to a computer. (And if you think it is, then what if the referrer contained
<quote><space>?).
However, the natural solution would be to use <backslash><quote> which it has
to be admitted analog doesn't understand either. I haven't bothered about this
before because I've never seen a large enough frequency of them that it would
make a difference -- and because of Jason's comment above.
