I don't really mind using {} as a quotation marker for {tlhIngan Hol}
text when it's mixed in with English, like this sentence. It clearly
distinguishes the Klingon from the English. I also find myself using {}
to express quotations with verbs of saying, just to clearly label the
quote. It's not necessary, but it is convenient.
I've also started using [] as a way to mark dialect and Paramount Hol in
my AKD entries for KGT. While I haven't been 100% consistent with that,
I think I like it and I'll probably go back through the whole AKD and
fix things. After all, it's often easier to type {} or [] than it is to
change fonts and typefaces on the fly.
