Why do you not like the reformatting of the quotation so far
(if such change descriptions should cope also with specific
Unicode characters)?

“…
Do not split the tag across multiple lines, tags are exempt from
the "wrap at 75 columns" rule in order to simplify parsing scripts.
…”

I have got the impression that this wording might need another bit
of fine-tuning.

I imagine that the support for different quotation characters
can become helpful, can't it?
