Hmm -- I can see that it has a small advantage, but even so... I don't really mind whether groff uses `foo' or 'foo' when rendering for ascii/latin1/whatever -- however, I feel that if Michael would otherwise use \(aq for quotes, then we *really do need* to address this issue. Perhaps optionally allowing the `old' behaviour (if possible) would ease some of the pain? Personally, I would prefer that quotes render sensibly in utf8, html and dvi, and that correctly written man pages do not need any modification. Also, the use of `foo' is very convenient (even if it no longer appears balanced in the source). Cheers, -- Stuart Brady
