One small question: What do you mean by "standard punctuation"?  I 
assume you mean ticks for apostrophes, double ticks for quotes, hyphens 
for dashes, and the like.

I don't know enough about non-Latin punctuation to comment, and 
following the proper capitalization standard seems a no-brainer.  If 
this isn't already documented (I'm surprised), then why not?

Thank you for seeking a compromise, BTW.
