Another German, and I agree, too, with every point Peter makes. As an  
addition: I would vote for keeping "` and "'. I know that  
\quotation{ } is better and have been using it for a while now, but I  
also know that many older documents still have the old quotes, and  
when I began using TeX, they were considered standard. I think it's  
better to gently convince users to switch to the better style, not  
force them by breaking their documents.

My two cents, best wishes

Thomas
