That's a relief. Now that I understand this rule, I think it's a complete load of bollocks, and should be removed from any notion of "correct" treatement of wikitext. Mismatched apostrophe groupings should be considered erroneous input whose rendering is undefined.
Yeah. It does seem a lot more trouble that its worth.
For instance introducing an escape character, (say \ for example) that guarentees the following character is text.
