I can only concur that using straight quotes for measurements is incorrect! As
has been pointed out by jes, the correct replacement would be U+2032 and
U+2033.
What about extending the normal quote rules by the following rules?
In normal text:
1) number' -> number[prime]
2) number" -> number[double prime]
3) number[prime]number" -> number[prime]number[double prime]
With quotes:
4) 'text number' -> autoreplace ' by single quotes
4a) followed immediately by a second number?
-> go back and replace closing quote by prime, leave quotes open
4b) followed immediately by another single quote?
-> go back and replace first quote by prime, close quotes
5) "text number' -> replace ' by prime, leave quotes open
6) "text number" -> replace " by double quotes
6a) immediately followed by another number?
-> go back and replace closing quotes by double prime, leave quotes open
6b) immediately followed by "?
-> go back and change closing quotes to double prime and second quotes to
real closing quotes
Of course, this should be activated separately by a third AutoCorrect option
group "Prime replacement". (Not all fonts have primes and double primes.)
As for the feasability of such a replacement, that's up to the developers ;-)
But it would be a nice typographic improvement.
