Meanwhile I set my keyboard to:

  | mod3+ | normal | shift  |
  |-------+--------+--------|
  | P     | „      | »      |
  | [     | “      | «      |
  | ]     | ”      | »      |
  | 8     | ‚      | <dead> |
  | 9     | ‘      | <dead> |
  | 0     | ’      | <dead> |
  
The P and the 8 are nice to use in German because there the English
opening quote is the German closing quote.  The '»' guillemot is
duplicated for consistency (German commonly uses quotes for letters and
guillemots for books).  I don't have a compose key, because I like to
have the right control of my model M to act as an additional control;
the right ALT key is used for MOD3, left control for the window manager
and caps lock of course for control.


Salam-Shalom,

p.s.

  key <AE08> {[   8, asterisk,  singlelowquotemark,   dead_ogonek]};
  key <AE09> {[	  9, parenleft, leftsinglequotemark,  dead_breve]};
  key <AE10> {[	  0, parenright, rightsinglequotemark, dead_abovering]};
  key <AD11> {[ bracketleft,  braceleft, leftdoublequotemark, guillemotleft]};
  key <AD12> {[bracketright, braceright, rightdoublequotemark, guillemotright]};
