Um, isn't that what <q> is all about? [1] Or am I missing something?

I thought the issue on the table was the fact that the spec defines the 
following: "Visual user agents must ensure that the content of the Q 
element is rendered with delimiting quotation marks."

The problem arises with UAs which don't understand <q>, and leaves out 
the quotation marks. This results in the loss of the information that 
the element content was a quote.
