[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

>>> I understand item 1, but not item 2. Why would we want to change
>>> @samp to @kbd? Likewise in other parts, where you suggest to
>>> change @t to @kbd. @kbd is for something the user types; using it
>>> for quotes in context other than typing input is wrong.
>>
>> Before I answer, I have to ask: do we want extra (curved) quotes
>> around examples showing quotes, both ASCII and curved? Because I
>> have doubts which way is correct...
>
> I think we should use what's logical, even if it looks awkward on
> some platforms. So if it's something the user types, then it should
> be @kbd, and if not, it shouldn't be.
>
> Can you respin the patch without those changes?
