And even in the same language and style, you get different variants. I've seen English books using double quotes for direct speech, single quotes for other uses (in addition to double-single alternation for different levels), and punctuation inside quotes for direct speech, outside for other uses. So, an attribute should be added to the <q>, or a new tag added.
Regarding the "continuation" quote marks (when a quoted block takes several paragraphs), since tags must be properly nested, one cannot have:
Code:
<p>He said: <q>Lorem ipsum.</p>
<p>Dolor sit amet.</q></p>
because the <q> is not closed within the surrounding <p>. Instead, we should have something like:
Code:
<p>He said: <q type="continued">Lorem ipsum.</q></p>
<p><q type="continuation">Dolor sit amet.</q></p>
