So it is the intention of unicode to only allow completely neutral
(upright) quotation marks or require different fonts for say English and
German?

As I explain in the document there is a greater difference between U
+2018 and U+201C, and unencoded RIGHT versions thereof than between U
+201C and the variant U+201F. The latter one being a mere design variant
and of only the "LEFT-use" of U+201C which makes it even clearer that
"LEFT" is not "RIGHT".

I might still be missing something, perhaps you could explain your
thinking, preferably with reference to statements in my explanation of
the issue?
