Thanks vm!
Sadly, I have no way of telling the 4,000+ people who have downloaded my
Markdown editor how they ought to compose and typeset their prose.
I'll let Robert Bringhurst know, though, and ask him to change Rule 4.1.5
of his Elements of Typographic Style from "include the initial quotation
mark" to "rewrite your prose." ;-)

Any other ideas?
Yes, change/edit the text to avoid the quotation marks in the first place.
e.g. There are always better/simpler ways to achieve the story to be told. Trace back to the underlying idea as why these drop capitals were invented in the first place. Most likely to visually separate blocs of mono colored bread text with the lead characters from the drawer below. These days there are (better) alternatives to solve the issue of separation text paragraphs.
(avoiding a problem instead of trying to solve it afterwards)
