I know that. However, your implementation outputs a double quote for "quote-
insert single" and a single quote for "quote-insert double".

So you mix the two concepts of "inner/outer" and "single/double" quotes.
Then what we have to do is change our quote handling to the inner/outer
model.

What happens on programs like msword in British setting BYW? Does "
produce a single quote?

I rather doubt it. Certainly, if I happened to be using LyX on a UK-based machine, I'd be surprised to find that " suddenly meant '.

What we ought to do, IMO, is map ' and " to the closest things we can.
