Probably not the best solution because of kerning. Depending on the program/renderer/font, extra space may get added around guillemets.
Or text-to-speech may handle quotation mark characters differently from parenthesis/brackets.
Line-breaking may also be handled slightly differently.

Yuck!
I can imagine the text-to-speech now:
<1> = "Less than 1 more than"
