Nyororin, do you ever see "high-level" publications using question marks? I only recall seeing it in manga and things that are not up to the "respectability" of newspapers and such.

the novel (ie. not a manga but a book) I'm translating right now (一人暮らし) uses question marks, and I believe Beat Takeshi's biographies used them too... Not that Takeshi is too fussed about respectability...笑
