Indeed, and thanks for the discussion, interesting.

It's difficult to say what's more common but since we cannot expect
the « « inner » » style to be correctly implemented in, say, HTML, and
since, even in LaTeX, babel-french defaults to the « “inner” » style,
I suggest we stick to the « “inner” » style (this is a defcustom and
users can change it.)

Thanks!
