It would be ridiculous to quote every use of a technical term in the
manual. 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.
