i really do think, that typographical correct punctuation is nonsense in a non-print environment. it adds inconsitency and noise to the database since most users are only able (or willing) to use the chars ' and " and - and an automatic determination is not reliable imho. also most fontsets designed for screen display dont have all typographic characters which will lead to severe display errors on several playback devices; and even if they have them included their implementation is often horrid, leading to a cluttered and broken appearance. I don't see any profit from it, but a lot of work and a lot of problems coming up just because of a pedantic approach to implement everthing thats most correct.
