http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#index-left-quote The actual change to the document was made even earlier than I remembered: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 2011-12-31 Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> * standards.texi (Quote Characters): change to recommending undirected quotes, '...' or "...". --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- >> and EMACS is slowly following suit. > > Where do you see that Emacs is slowly following suit? There was a lengthy discussion around the latest version of makeinfo producing the new quoting style by default just recently and it has flared up before. My takeaway from that was that EMACS would go with that change in coding style over time.
