That's why XML editors exist. The sooner we switch to a standard markup language, the better. WP's markup is proprietary and very hackish. With a proper markup language it would not be necessary to change ''' -> '' -> " -> ''' -> « -> '' -> „ -> " all the time; you would simply write <obj>Nuremberg Castle</obj> and you are done. Once and for all. That's only one example.
In 'de' they just invented an invisible "personendaten" box...
