The way this is rendered:
greekLit:tlg0032:tlg002:perseus-grc2:1.3.3

τούτου·<quote type="verse">
<l met="dactylic">καδδύναμιν δʼ ἔρδειν ἱέρʼ ἀθανάτοισι θεοῖσι,</l>
</quote>
<bibl n="Hes. WD 336">Hes. WD 336</bibl>καὶ πρὸς φίλους

  1. The open quotation mark is on the line with τούτου·
  2. A new line for καδδύναμιν - θεοῖσι
  3. A new line with another close quotation mark + space + Hes. WD 336καὶ πρὸς φίλους (no space after the reference).

So the quotation marks are not on the line with the quote and the bibl needs a space after it (and perhaps another means of offsetting from text, if it is going to be displayed.

Hey Lisa,
Thanks for the idea. What we need going forward is a serious multipurpose XSLT and CSS. Right now, we use the really basic TEI Boilerplate and we should go further.
Also, for this reason, I am gonna create a design flag to be able to grab ideas for when we do the XSLT and CSS.

Cheers
Thibault

To add to this, I don't think that <q> or <quote> should add quotation marks. In most of the cases I have seen, the text has them, and when these are nested you don't see a familiar pattern as everything is converted to double quotation marks (even nested quotations) so you just get duplicates or other multiples and it's hard to follow.
