Oh, ok, I misundestood your proposal. So you made a mistake in the CSS
rule. You wrote q[marks=provided]::before, q[marks=needed]::after
{content: "";} but you meant q[marks=provided]::before,
q[marks=provided]::after {content: "";}.
(Note that nested multiple languages quoting can't be handled now with
existing CSS rules, we are missing a pseudo-selector like '::closest'.
But this particular issue is for the CSS WG.)
