I can't reproduce the second problem, with the straight/smart quotes.  
Let's ignore it.

The first problem, with the two periods after a book title, has been  
with me since at least last year. I can reproduce it with the following:

[A] ConTeXt version.

ConTeXt  ver: 2008.08.05 18:47 MKIV  fmt: 2008.8.6  int: english/english

This is based TeXLive 2007, originally installed with the MacTeX  
installer and updated with cont-tmf,zip from pragma and the ppc- 
darwin binaries from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma/osx-ppc/ 
texmf-osx-ppc/bin/.

My understanding of TeX installations is not sophisticated. Perhaps I  
goofed. But everything seems to work.

Here is a reference to the Kavka book: \cite[Kavka:1986qe]

The output I get is:

Here is a reference to the Kavka book: Kavka (1986)
Kavka, G. (1986). Hobbesian Moral and Political Theory.. Princeton:

Thanks for your help.
