comment LaTeX Markup Options?
I think we should also bear in mind the time at which TeX was designed. A possibly small drawback like the escape character `` can make a big difference in the speed and techniques with which the source can be parsed.

comment Quotation with double quote and O results in Ö
@Warren: a linebreak counts as a space (unless "hidden" in a oomment), and here this would result in a space, for example, after the opening quote before the word OpenGL.

comment Quotation with double quote and O results in Ö
This, or skip that and take a look at the csquotes package. (Background for the OP: "+character is special when support for german is loaded, so that "a yields ä etc. If you don't like csquotes, "` and "' will yield proper quotes.)

Yes, there shouldn't be trouble, at least not until you have %xx-escaped characters, stuff like that.

comment \renewcommand{\cite} does not work
Not reading the argument oneself will also make life easier if the command in question has a starred form or other fancy variations.

comment Brown paper strip on page 125 of The METAFONTbook
The millenium edition hardcover doesn't have anything in particular there. By context, it might be a foldout of the Stanford Tree?

@Bruno: yes, you're right. I admit to not having the required zen state to understand your solution right now. ;)

comment Are we inside an edef?
FWIW, my take on this was along the lines of \let\voodoo\voodoo with \voodoo starting with \relax\relax and ignoring its first argument, which does pretty much the same thing, but would leave a \let\relax\relax in an expanding context. (The whole story can be found in nag.dtx. Ah, the days we were young...)

comment Sections \label and \nameref
My crystal ball guesses: you have no text at all between those 3k subsections, hence there is no possibility for pagebreaks, on a TeX level, your second page becomes immensely long and breaks the ~400cm limit.

I think that will always complain that "you requested ../../mypackage, but the package provides mypackage", but that is harmless. (I've not checked in a while, though.)
