Assuming the source file has an even number of quotes, shouldn't replacing them with curly quotes be as simple as

Code:

intag = False
inquote = False
for i, chr in enumerate(data):
  if chr == '<':
    intag = True
  elif chr == '>'
    intag = False
  elif not intag and chr == '"':
    if inquote:
      data[i] = right curly quote
      inquote = False
    else:
      data[i] = left curly quote
      inquote = True

Or is there something about curly quotes I'm missing?
