Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-content] Quote character choice must depend on surrounding language, not language of the quotation (#5478)

> If you apply a font change to a quotation in another language marked up with the q element, the font change also affects the quote marks, but the quote marks should be treated as part of the surrounding text, and remain in the same font as the stuff around the quote.

Probably worth discussing in a separate issue. Logically, I agree that the quote marks "belong" to the context of the quoted text, but if the quote is styled quite distinctively, I suspect it could look quite jarring to surround it with quote marks that don't match its style.

(I'm sure I've seen typographic guidelines that insist punctuation marks should use the style of the adjacent word, and haven't said anything about an exception for quote marks.)
