Thank you! 
But I wish you would put it as alternative 1 - the current alternative 1 is 
clearly wrong as its inner quotes are never used in Norwegian. 
Actually correct typographical usage is the outer quotes of the current alt. 1 
and the inner quotes of alt. 2. The guidelines I referred to are set up 
through consultation with Norsk Språkråd, an official language council.

I have verified «» in good books, will have to search more to find examples of 
inner quotes. " " have of course been sneaking into daily use because people 
can't find «» on their keyboards these days ... and ‘’ must be fetched from 
character selection tools :-)
