Hi Elwyn,
thank you for this substantive review.
We’ll get to the details soon, but I’m intrigued by this:> General: The RFC Editor preferes the US convention for quoting items using
> exclusively singe quote rather than double quote marks.Last time I looked at this, I gained the impression that the RFC editor was open to a choice by the authors between British and (US) American English. I’m neither British nor US American, but I prefer the latter (specifically CMOS style, just like the RFC editor).
Also, I was under the nearly life-long impression that the British like single quotes and the US Americans like double quotes (as I do) as the outer quotes.
(There are also other differences; e.g., the British prefer to keep added punctuation outside the quotes, while the US convention is to tamper with the quote and put the punctuation inside, but then only for some of the punctuation… This is a place where a sane person cannot follow CMOS.)I’m probably simply misunderstanding what you are trying to tell us.
(CCing gen-art, but not core/last-call)
Grüße, Carsten
