I've had mixed results with the rules specified therein, especially the nesting rules. My impression is that even the major browsers are not consistent in their implementation of them. A further problem is the assumption that quotes are rendered with things that come before and/or after the quote (both s12.3.1 and s12.3.2 assume this), rather than, say, being rendered as italics. However, this is just a flaw in the prose of those sections: I'm pretty sure it's not a normative problem. I think that the rules made available by CSS 2.1 could probably be put to good use in specifying quoting styles in a default style sheet for HTML 5, for the range of languages covered[2].
