<q> is for prose. The UA is supposed to nest things properly depending
on locale. For example:
Sally replied, <q>All it tells me is, <q>Segmentation fault: core
dumped!</q></q>
Would render, in an en-us UA as:
Sally replied, "All it tells me is, 'Segmentation fault: core dumped.'"
A French UA would use << and >> instead of ", and so on for other User
Agents.
Mozilla actually supports these? I'd used these for a long time and got
tired of them never appearing in Netscape. :(
