PMario Just an FYI that http://skplugins.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fmodules%2Feditor-operations%2Ftext%2Ffancyquotes.js that does the replace is nicely designed.
Even though I can't do JS I was able to edit it and change and add rules. Note it has a couple of issues on order. For instance it does ens before ems which is not ideal. IF you decide to take the approach forward I'm happy to help on anything regex.
