Fri 07 Nov 2014 01:02:31 AM UTC, original submission:

If you use \[lq] and \[rq] directly in your document, the quotes already render nicely for all terminal devices: as U+201C and U+201D for devutf8 and as ASCII 0x22 (") for devascii and devlatin1.

So it is not quite clear why doc-nroff should avoid \[lq] and \[rq]
when resolving \[Lq] and \[Rq] for devascii and devlatin1. Quite to the contrary, many people seem to consider "``" and "''" ugly renderings because they look unbalanced.
