That's true according to English majors, who value tradition more highly than precision. But when I quote something, I try to ensure that the stuff inside the quotes is exact.
Edit: In other words, I know teachers count off for that stuff, but I think the concept of putting punctuation and commas inside quotes is really stupid, though sometimes I do it by habit.
