It's fine to quote the defining occurrence (prefably with @dfn), but other uses of technical terms should appear unquoted. This is standard English style and it's what Emacs manuals should use. The defenses you gave for the quotes in the examples are weak; those quotes are unnecessary distractions to the reader, and their costs outweigh their benefits.
