robinwhittleton has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-text] allow hanging-punctuation to apply to nested quotes ==
At the moment, [`hanging-punctuation`](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text/#propdef-hanging-punctuation) applies to a single character (typically a quote). It would be nice if this could be extended to apply to multiple quote characters (possibly interspersed with spacing).

[An example](https://archive.org/details/braceletofgarnet00kupr/page/31/mode/1up):

<img width="393" alt="An example of verse with nested quotes at the start, both of which hang outside the parent box." src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7414/132990412-3651e0a5-a5d2-4265-9d5b-d5d249a4fe65.png">

This has been replicated in the transcription I’m working on as `“ ‘`: a left double quotation mark, followed by a hair space, followed by a left single quotation mark.
