I just did a little digging[1]. Whenever I searched for nested quotes,
there was the rule (in english, french, german, ..) to use the *same*
style of quotes, but in the single variant, i.e.
" -> '

and the same for the closing version. Do you have any evidence, that
some publication, person, organization mixes the quoting styles
instead of using this common rule?
