 There is a large difference between <quote> and &laquo; even if the
 rendering result is almost the same.  It is not based on my personal
 preference.  From viewpoint of SGML, using &laquo; is wrong.  If you
 need to change the quotation mark, please use more reasonable way to
 do so.

 I could not read you said the reason why you use &laquo; was you want
 to use two kinds of quotation marks, from the previous email.  I have
 no intention of denying to use two (or more) kinds of quotation marks
 but I object to convert <quote> to &laquo; for that purpose without
 compelling reason.  It is a kind of violation of separation of the
 logical structure and the rendering results, which SGML aims to.

 This is not a bikeshed matter.
