If it's so hard to convince RMS that modern style is different, maybe it's easier to convince him to drop this subject. Things that make sense to state in a standards document are things that - facilitate the interoperability between programs, - facilitate the user's perception of the programs (such as --help and the configure), - facilitate the developer's work on various packages (such as the coding conventions). It is thus useful to recommend ASCII for source code of programs (because of the third point), but I cannot see how prescribing `quote' vs. 'quote' can be useful.
