[sword-devel] OSISqToTick=false

[Troy A. Griffitts]

I am not sure who decided that OSISqToTick is deprecated.

As a matter of principle, I don't think <q> should ever produce
punctuation marks and I would always set it to false in a module I produce.

The idea is that, conceptually, no other punctuation mark in a module is
produced from a tag.  Marking quotations for a language (even English)
varies dramatically and is not always at the start and end of a quotation.

Let the author use punctuation however they expect the punctuation for
the language to appear (just like question mark, exclamation mark,
etc.).  Tags are there not to add actual content to the text, but merely
meta information.  <q> might be added to specify 'who' was speaking, but
it should be used in place of the language quotation marker.
