I though I might do it manually (and thus reliably), but setting
q {
  quotes: none;
 }
didnt seem to affect the compliant browsers.
IE/Win doesn't support the q element properly, so you can either let 
users of that browser miss out on the quotes, or add quotes manually 
and use CSS to turn off the automatically added quotes in modern 
browsers:

q {
quotes:none;
}
q:before {
content: "";
}
q:after {
content: "";
}
The above does not work in IE5/Mac, so people using that will get 
double quotes.

This way you can use the typographically correct quote marks for the 
language used, and not the standard " that all browsers seem to add by 
default.

This works in Firefox 0.8, no idea about other browsers:
q:before, q:after {
content: "";
}
 

For sure it won't work in Internet Explorer. I think it works in Opera 
7.50 too.
