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?
