One obvious point is that the anglophone community is divided in whether
it prefers " or ' as the main quotation mark.  Non-anglophones often prefer
other quotation marks, but they weren't being heard when SGML was
devised, and nobody thought of this as an internationalization issue
when XML was devised.
