As a native English speaker I feel like I get a say in this. This is the worst rule I've seen proposed. Unbalanced quotation marks are confusing as hell.

Yeah what the hell. It's like having unmatched parentheses when coding.

While we're at it, putting punctuation inside quotation marks when it's not actually part of the quote also needs to be fixed. And the whole he/she thing.
