                                    ^^^^^^
A typo?

> +*** Add 'C-x 8' key translations for "low" quotes "„", and "‚".

This style is for ChangeLog entries, not for NEWS.  In NEWS we say
something like "New 'C-x 8' key translations for..." instead.

> +*** "latin-prefix" and "latin-postfix" quotation marks additions.
> +These input methods can now produce single, double and "low" left and

Why is the last line broken in the middle?

> +*** "latin-prefix" and "latin-postfix" guillemets support.
> +These input methods can now produce single guillemets.  For
> +"latin-prefix" use "~~<" and "~~>", for "latin-postfix" use "<~" and

Suggest to show the guillemets themselves: not sure everyone knows
what they are.

Are any of these worthy of being mentioned in the user manual (the
"Inserting Text" node)?
