Pandoc allows to replace quotes with "smart punctuation". That would 
cause "..." to be replaced by “...”. That way I can at least safely 
determine start and end, thereby replacing “ with \quotation\bgroup and 
” with \egroup. I'm aware that there might still be cases where this 
goes wrong, but it should be much more rare then :-)

So I guess my lua based search and replace (combined with said "smart 
punctuation") could be my best bet at the moment. If any other ideas pop 
up, I'm happy to hear them, though :-)

Thanks for your quick response!

Best regards,
Andreas
