None.  Why would there be a difference?  I have not made
a change.

Very possible (about different worlds), but if I had
to choose between those alternatives, "wrapping tags"
seems like a better fit than "switches" for text enclosed
in double quotes.  I don't recognize the latter usage.

"Break thread"?  I'm following what I understood to be the
convention for signaling that the subject of a discussion
has changed without losing the connection to the previous
discussion:  I changed the subject line to "$NEWTOPIC
(was $OLDTOPIC)" and included (or more properly "allowed
my newsreader to supply) a References header that links to
the replied-to post.  I understood this to be considered
good Usenet etiquette.  I guess mileage varies.
