That would be a bit heavy, especially when other scripts come to play. I
think babel handles quotes quite good, with csquotes nothing can go
wrong. babel functionality is not (yet) part of the LaTeX kernel.

Exactly. In german typography we have 99(bottom) 66(top) quotes, and
equally 9(bottom) and 6(top) single quotes. With csquotes and semantic
markup, you get the correct quotes. Maybe i overlooked the correct
unicode point though.
