Taking these > in quotes would be wrong, e.g. because then "@kbd{C-x @key{RET}}" > would produce `C-x `'' with nested quotes which looks ugly. What you describe is an implementation problem (Texinfo, Info). What I describe is from a user point of view: the resulting appearance in the Info manual. No one is suggesting that `C-x `'' should be used. The point is that `' should be used. The entire key sequence - whatever that key sequence is, should be in quotes, consistently, to indicate a key sequence. `C-x ' and `' both correspond to the same convention: put the sequence of keys in quotes. We don't write just i - we write `i' when we want to refer to the key sequence consisting of just the i key. And we write `C-x i' when we want to refer to the sequence of the C-x key followed by the i key. And we write `C-x ' to refer to the sequence of the C-x key followed by the key. Why should we write for the key sequence `'?
