But yeah... having "quote" read out does still seem undesired.

Aren't the aural style sheet or something that can be used to get rid of that?


Shouldn't putting "quotes: none none" on the <q> element be enough to
get the screen readers to NOT say "quote" at the beginning and the
end?

As in...

   <q style="quotes: none none;">...<q>

I think that noone has actually implemented aural CSS in any of the major screenreaders. Mind you, screenreaders don't generally read out "quote" for the <q> tag either. Have a look at this:

For what it's worth, it seems reasonable to me that a still image, or short clip, could be marked up as a quote from a larger film. But the original HTML spec only considers quoting excerpts from written text, not excerpts from audio or video as well. I don't know if there's any practical value in using <q> like this, since <q> isn't consistently implemented across web browsers.
