I normally do use proper quotes - straight quotes were just easier for testing purposes since they're right there on the keyboard.

Do most epub readers recognize the letterspacing attribute? I didn't even know that existed until just now - I'll have to do some testing with it later. It would certainly be easier to do it that way than to create one for " ' and another for ' ".
