Please have a look at the current debian.css, French quotes have been
fixed this way.  Nested quotation marks for French look also wrong to
me, I will send a message to our mailing list to discuss it.

Can you please ask then to verify, that there are really browsers not showing the space between quotation mark and text in the test page? All of my browsers have no difficulties with it.

Anyway I do not understand why you spend time on finding those
quotation marks for all languages; this is translators' job, simply
put debian.css files under their directory and they will take care

Finding them might be a translators job, but implementing the css is not, if they do not want to. From my experience now the translators want something, that makes it easy to edit and translate. For myself I would not like to have to translate all the “ and others, too. And the must be translated to get correct quote signs in all languages.

I could have waited and ask the translators for their quotes. But why should I, when knowing that some of them will have difficutites too do that and answer in a year or so, if they are forced to search themselves? It is quite mire easy for the to look at an example page and say either "okay" or "not okay".

Beside most time of the research was finding a solution, that works with all the browsers as even those suggested for one of my browsers really sucks and I was tired, getting english straight quotes insted of German ones eg all the time. It is really a pity, that the example from CSS spec does not work in nearly all browsers.
