Oh, I wasn't expecting my stylesheet to solve your formatting issue 
... I was only asking you to try my stylesheet with your xsltproc to 
see if the result successfully translates all the quotes.

Right ... because of the mode ... my code was not intended for use in 
your stylesheet, only as a standalone test.

That is very acceptable when using XSLT 1.0 ... there is a shortcut 
when using XSLT 2.0:

   <xsl:template match="...whatever..." mode="#all">

One approach in XSLT 1.0 to prevent duplication of code is:

   <xsl:template match="...whatever..." mode="no.anchor.mode">
     <xsl:call-template name="handle-quotes"/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="...whatever..." name="handle-quotes">
     <xsl:value-of select="..."/>
   </xsl:template>

... or even the following:

   <xsl:template match="...whatever..." mode="no.anchor.mode">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="...whatever...">
     <xsl:value-of select="..."/>
   </xsl:template>

(note a reader might think the above is recursive, but it is not 
because the <xsl:apply-templates> is in the unnamed default mode, not 
in the "no.anchor.mode" mode.)

I hope this helps.  Please forgive me for misleading you regarding my 
earlier standalone fragment.
