Ok Alan, explain the problems that this will cause

gtk_label_new (_("this is a string with "" in it"));

Now explain how those problems are not caused by this

gtk_label_new (_("this is a string with \"\" in it"));

in the en_GB locale where gettext returns "this is a string with "" in it"

This is what we are talking about.

Shaun said that Yelp has been doing this for a while and I dont think
any bugs have ever been found with it
I know that my various pieces of software have been doing things like
this and I've never had anyone complaining.
Like I said before, your concerns are certainly very valid in a specific domain
But we aren't talking about that domain and so I don't think they are relevant.
