But perhaps it should not be.  Consider org-export-smart-quotes-alist.
In Danish, according to the 'official' guidance, all of the following
are appropriate

(*)       ,,.'', ``.'', `.', >>.<<, >.<.

Basically, only the french <<.>> is not appropriate.  A similar
situation exists in Norwegian, to the best of my knowledge.  Why
should I (submitting a patch) be able to actively force which of forms
in (*) should be used?

One remedy /in LaTeX/ would be to let quote-characters be selected by
csquote, but I don't really know if I'd want to go that way. . .

Alternatively, we can populate the various language variables and
provide easy means to alter them, a la:

  (org-alter-language "da" :left-latex "``" :right-latex "''" :table "tabel").
