I have no expertise in this other than my own high school (and college) classes umpteen years ago, but yes, I was taught to always put the punctuation inside the quotation marks, even if it looks wrong. (The American practice, according to your reference.) I believe that the Army correspondence regulation also requires that it be done that way. And thinking back on it, that may well be where I'm getting my information since I had far more years writing for the Army than I did writing for school!
