Thanks for this Chris! In my opinion this demonstrates that we must tread very carefully when touching user input. A similar issue arises with single and double quotes — IIRC citeproc-js applies conversions there as well (not quotes added by the processor, but quotes present in the original input). I have yet to look at this in more detail, but I imagine this is potentially even more controversial than hyphens in page numbers. Is there an equally strong consensus for converting quotes as there is for the page range delimiter?
