Unicode defines them not as balanced quotes. Using them as balanced quotes is abuse of characters as far as we follow Unicode. Considering the long standing convention, I don't suggest to stop this abuse. But, at least, we should not disturb people who use those characters correctly in the sense of Unicode by displaying them with characters of different semantics. --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@m17n.org
