Yes, that sounds right.

Yes, and it's amusing that Wikipedia cites a source[1] that agrees with you! The 
source does say „this” style is used in traditional printing, so I guess it's a 
now-obsolescent style derived from German. The user who wants that style could 
simply choose it from the labels you mention.

Rambling a bit: it might be nice to have a Hebrew-oriented mode that makes it 
easy to type proper gershayim instead of " for the users who are picky about 
gershayim (are there any?). This is probably beyond the scope of electric-quote, 
though.
