That's not a solution, just something to check on ;-). Actually, I
did check for that and unless I missed something, I found no
such flag or mapping. There's a 'dingbat' mapping function in the
DSSSL html stylesheets, but I'm not entirely sure how it works or
gets called.
I could tweak the entity file(s) to map ldquo/rdquo to quot, but
I'm not sure that's the right thing to do. I'm open to other suggestions
or ideas.
