I think using <quote> instead of &[lr]aquo; is more reasonable. The
<quote> element in DocBook is just for in-line text with quotation
marks, not implying either citation or other semantics. So, if you
just want to add quotation marks around a text, not for emphasizing
it, using <quote> is the right way.
I'm pretty sure that you're right, the reasonable, and canonical way of
doing that things in DocBook (probably in English and other languages)
is that. I have no doubt about it. But I think that it's a good idea
using [lr]aquo; in *our* texts because:
- it's easier to type than <quote> and </quote>. One of the reasons of
our lack of translators in our branch of FDP is that they can't just
type, and they have to type a lot of tags, acutes and so on.
- if the upper authoriry in the Spanish (or Castillan) language says
that you can use both of them to add quotation marks around a text and
one of them is easier to type than the other one... well, you got the
point ;-)
- The quotes that you got when using [lr]aquo; are called "latin". That
sounds interesting to me, as a translator to Spanish, for obvious
reasons ;-)
I think the idea is working to match the DocBook to human languages and
their representation. At least that's my point.
