Again, this is a separate feature. Dynamic quotes, on the contrary, is
strong if letting you quickly change between different styles of a
given language (such as ,,this``and >>this<< both current in German).

I see. I probably do not need dynamic quotes, then :)
The way I saw it was:
1/ there is a default style for each language, and it would be nice to have a 'default' setting for quotes, like we have for encoding. This was already the case for for 2.2-era quotes

2/ dynamic quotes are quotes of the type declared in Document Settings. If I change document settings, they change.

3/ the 'dynamic quotes' checkbox in Document settings means "create all new quotes as dynamic"

How wrong am I?

No. It shows the current style on top level and then all other
varieties in submenus. This strikes me more in line with the usual
writing workflow, where you usually stick with one style and might want
to change outer to inner (or vice versa) or correct left to right. This
were at least the use cases I had in mind when designing the menu.

So be it. You are the one who wrote the feature, after all ;)

How can we properly display this if the space depends on the linguistic
context? "French" quotes will have no space when used in a (babel)
German text.

I am not sure actually. Doing it when the language is French would be nice to users, but I imagine there are cases where it would deliver the wrong idea.
