Can do that easily. In HTML, those quotes are “ and ” in
the default case. Is it ok? They are customized using
OPEN_QUOTE_SYMBOL / CLOSE_QUOTE_SYMBOL. In plaintext/Info output, they
become U+2018 and U+2019 if enable-encoding is set and
@documentlanguage utf-8 is set too (as discussed recently).

Can do too, even though I don't really like that. Although, I agree
that this is unavoidable if one want to have unicode quotes different
from ascii quotes.
So, should I proceed with ` becoming ' in ascii in info/Plaintext
output?
Currently, in html, ' is changed to ’ and ` to ‘ except if
in @code/@example. I think that it should be kept that way. There is no
equivalent of OPEN_QUOTE_SYMBOL / CLOSE_QUOTE_SYMBOL in this
context, I am not sure that it should be added. I think that in other
output too, no change should be done in @code/@example.
For now, ' and ` are not transformed to unicode points, like --- -- `` ''
are in text/plaintext/info if enable-encoding is set and
@documentlanguage utf-8 is set too. They are in DocBook, to U+2019 and U+2018.
That would seem rather logical to also transform ' and ` to unicode
U+2019 and U+2018 in that case too.
Ok?
