Sticking to this one case, we have a clear mechanism (<quotation>) which is provided for the encoder to explain the choice
she has made.  so I suggest that we decide clearly what the default is, if no <quotation> is present (I'd prefer marks="none"),
and then in examples where we don't follow the default we supply a <quotation>. so the reader will see both practices,
but understand how to control them.

as I said before, this doesn't apply to the @rend variants, as those require no information outside their context. but in the
case of <q> and <said>, you can only understand the markup by reference to the <quotation>

i rest my case, m'lud.
