Comment (by lancewillett):

 Discussing more in IRC during today's dev chat
 ([https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2013-05-01&sort=asc#m604574 log]). I argued that the visual quote
 style should come from the theme, allowing authors to add their own
 punctuation if they wish—or themes can style as they see fit. Rather than
 adding curly quotes in the core markup output.

 Howewer, the em-dash in the core markup is a good idea; it can wrapped in
 a filter to be disabled, and can be translatable.

 For Twenty Thirteen:

 1. Quotes in post content already are visually separated: larger font
 size, italics, and indented.
 2. For Quote formats, where the quote stands alone ... we *could* explore
 visual techniques to make sure the quote looks "quotey" like an indent or
 bit of a background change. I'm leaning towards how it works now, though.
 3. The em-dash in front of the source will help a lot, for 2.
