Putting a space between the double quote and single quote also looks pretty bad to me.

It occurred to me on my drive home this morning that I could fix that with css.

Code:
.space
{margin-left: 2pt;
}
I've done this before now. I think it's probably worth the trouble. I'd also urge you to use 'proper' quotes in your ebooks, i.e. “” and ‘’.
