IMHO checking whole paragraphs is only gradually better than checking sentences only. Quotations even may contain several paragraphs and the only way to catch missing matching quotations here is always checking the whole text, obviously not a useful solution. Basically there is nothing wrong with maintaining information about a paragraph (here: "opening quote found") and postpone its judgement until more information is available (here: waiting for a matching closing quote, maybe in a later paragraph). What we then will need is a way ( = API ) how to report possible errors found this way.
