(According to New Hart's Rules: "When the quoted sentence ends with a question mark or exclamation mark, this should be placed within the closing quotation mark, with no other mark outside the quotation mark—only one mark of terminal punctuation is needed")
Would this be applied differently if it was quotes within quotes, like someone speaking? IE: He asked, "Did she say 'Is it raining'?"
