Another good question.
Apparently the quotes have been left out while rewriting the html for  
CSS.
I suggest to use the q-tag instead of quotes: <q>word</q>
Then most browsers should handle the quotation marks correctly  
according to the browsers set language.
For a better control we can specify how the q-tag is handeled in the  
stylesheet.
Here is an excelent articel about that:

This would also be a great advantage for theme-designers.
