--- Comment #22 from i18n IG <www-international@w3.org> ---
I believe the syntax of the styling at
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#quotes is incorrect, because
my understanding is that when you have an embedded quotation in a different
language the quotation marks should be determined by the surrounding language,
not that of the quotation.

I therefore think we need to change:

:root:lang(x), :not(:lang(x)) > :lang(x) { quotes: '\00ab' '\00bb' '\2039'
'\203a' } /* « » ‹ › */

to:

:lang(x)  { quotes: '\00ab' '\00bb' '\2039' '\203a' } /* « » ‹ › */
:lang(x) > :not(:lang(x))  { quotes: '\00ab' '\00bb' } /* « »  */
