Alex Jones proposed [1] to change the quotation marks in Nautilus

I think the proposed quotation marks are aesthetically more pleasing,
but I don't want to change this unless there is a GNOME-wide policy.
I hereby propose to establish a GNOME policy of using "..." for
quotations. Comments, objections?
Great idea!
I blogged about it at
http://blogs.gnome.org/simos/2008/05/14/should-ui-strings-in-source-code-have-non-ascii-characters/
There might be some further input.
My main concern is how systems such as FreeBSD with GNOME behave
(apparently they use non-UTF8 encodings). I did not manage to duplicate
the behaviour on Ubuntu, so if someone has a system with legacy 8-bit
encoding, could you please check?
