That sounds reasonable, and is less intrusive than
that what I proposed.  As I understand it, the idea is to
use "X" when X should be translated, and 'X' when X should
not be translated.

I'll send a gnulib patch along these lines to bug-gnulib.
And attached is a slightly-updated proposal for standards.texi,
which uses single-quotes in the example though it also allows
double-quotes.
