While it is possible to use typographically acceptable quotes by accident, enabling their conscious use by authors who care is a worthy consideration.

More important are dashes and minus signs; the lack of these is really jarring in the current RFCs.  Discarding the information which is which in the XML and replacing everything by the ASCII minus-hyphen character that is then rendered as a hyphen does not help.
