yes, the ascii " marks group words. If you edit the title you get an
editor which allows you to insert real double quotation marks (there is
a button for it), as well as things like 

\italic "this is in italic"

to make part of the title italic and so on. You can even insert a note
name (e.g. the key of the piece) which will be transposed if you typeset
the score transposed.
This editor is in fact the one that was causing the trouble on 2.0.0
with non-ascii characters on operating systems other than GNU/Linux.

yes, the downside is the files are absurdly large. I have actually
turned on the flag for automatic compression, but for some reason it is
failing to work. (We used to have it set, and people thought it was some
binary format, it was just gzip really). The trigger for me trying to
turn on is that if people send me large files by email then their email
client may fail to attach it and instead inline the xml thinking it can
be displayed. My email client then chokes on the message ... But as I
say, some bug is preventing it doing the compression. If it was working
I would make it optional.
