Sorry, I don't understand: how is that a different issue?

I meant this part of standards.texi:

  5.10 Quote Characters
  =====================

  In the C locale, the output of GNU programs should stick to plain ASCII
  for quotation characters in messages to users: preferably 0x22 (`"') or
  0x27 (`'') for both opening and closing quotes.  Although GNU programs
  traditionally used 0x60 (``') for opening and 0x27 (`'') for closing
  quotes, nowadays quotes ``like this'' are typically rendered
  asymmetrically, so quoting `"like this"' or `'like this'' typically
  looks better.

It clearly says that quoting 'like this' is better than `like this',
doesn't it?
