I am just asking what of these two flavors can be more appealing for KDE  
users?

I mean unformatted text without even quotation marks (cf. GUI elements on

There are several ways to change this:

1. Do nothing.
2. Add some quotation.
3. Use colors similar to those in HTML handbook.

What kind of handling will be the best?
