MSIE 6 shows no quotes at all (this might change with MSIE 7). :-(
Since MSIE is so popular, this makes this elegant kind of CSS magic
unusable in practice for "normal" sites. Well, for debian.org the stats are
probably different.
Still, I feel slightly bad about the fact that after the changes are
committed, >80% of Internet users will _not_ see <q> as intended. FWIW, the
round corners of the current site don't show up on MSIE either. :-/
BTW, does anyone have statistics on browser vendor distribution for
debian.org?
Cheers,
Richard
