I'd agree.  The --/--- convention is very handy, as I don't imagine many 
keyboards have a convenient key for these.  I'd also say that the 
apostrophe convention is pretty hard-wired for a lot of people, given 
that this is very much "part of TeX".  Unlike Ulrike, I stick with using 
``/'' as I'm almost always writing in English, so again it is very useful.
