HI Peter, I've been struggling with archiving lots of materials to PDF recently, and the curly quotes get changed to straight ones consistently in the OCR—quite maddening—so I sympathize with your plight about these small but important details.
What you are doing looked correct to me, so I decided to do an experiment and and made a very simple page using “ and ” entities for the quotation marks within blockquote tags. http://www.boletta.com/blockquote/ The HTML and CSS on my page both validate. i wonder why. I can't see any difference between what you are doing and what my HTML does. Maybe someone else can catch something and will tell us what is going on.
