HI Bruce

In case you haven't figured this out already, you need to either:
a) add :inline_textile_quote to the list of rules in the RedCloth  
to_html method or
b) call to_html with to_html(:textile,:inline_textile_quote) or
c) add :inline_textile_quote DEFAULT_RULES constant.

Redcloth should then call the rule at the appropriate moment.  I  
needed to do some careful jiggling of the order of the rules in order  
to make my modifications work as expected.
