I think (1) context is the problem. As I wrote, my FF does it right. 
...partially... because as an author I want to be able to control it in a 
simple way. 

eg: I'd like to have some rules

   - a) text editing must be simple
   - b) global setting ... for real prose text in 1 language
   - c) per tiddler ... eg: for documentation. It needs to be possible to 
   create English wikitext, that describes German quotes and vice versa
   
------------ Global setting

The global setting could be done in the ControlPanel : SmartQuotes 
definition table
 - Double quote start: x
 - Double quote start: y
 - Single ... 
 - 

------------- Per Tiddler

The per-tiddler setting could be defined as a pragma \smartquotes de-DE „…“ 
‚…‘ »…« ›…‹

The text would use, what's part of the keyboard. ... Different keyboards 
have different possibilities! eg. my German keyborad setting doesn't offer 
any of the above characters. So I'd use "text" as wikitext. 


------- per input ???

Not sure, how this can be implemented in a sensible way. ... I personally 
would want at editor-toolbar button, that lists the elements from the 
\smartquotes setting, so they can be directly used. 


just some thoughts
