+                                Alternate for nested quotes. According to the BBC style guide,
+                                the outer quotes should be double to avoid confusion with ending
+                                apostophies: 'don't'. They also say emphasis should be single
+                                quotes, but I don't think we can control that adequately.
+
+                                ConTeXt nicely handles the extra space required for Guillemets.
+
+                                We have no control over the position of punctuation.
+
+                                Docbook has no mechanism to express single quotations used
+                                for emphasis (as opposed to quoting sentences with double
+                                quotes) ala ConTeXt's \quote{}. We make do without that; hijacking
+                                <emphasis> for this purpose would be inappropiate.
